Gerald Eve has recruited Daniel Okin and Charlie Ingham to build the firm’s new Capital Partners offering. Gerald Eve Capital Partners will acquire and manage UK commercial real estate on behalf of, and in partnership with, third party investors.
The new business line will develop and execute strategies to capitalise on the opportunities created by mispriced risk and structural economic shifts. The new team will work closely with Gerald Eve’s existing Property & Asset Management capabilities and draw on the firm’s advisory services, including research, agency, investment, analytics and corporate finance.
Okin and Ingham both join as partners having previously worked together at Square Metre Asset Management, where they were integral members of the team that oversaw the successful acquisition, management and disposal of over £1 bn of commercial real estate in partnership with Goldman Sachs. Okin brings experience in strategic portfolio and asset management, acquisitions and disposals, while Ingham’s background is in investment management, capital raising and investor relations.
John Rodgers, partner at Gerald Eve, said: ‘Now more than ever, investors are seeking innovative, proactive strategies for their existing holdings and emerging opportunities, and the new Gerald Eve Capital Partners offering will help us better align with clients’ requirements in this rapidly shifting marketplace.’
