UK developer Harworth Group has announced the appointment of James Crow to the new role of head of Mixed Tenure.
Reporting to Chief Operating Officer Andrew Blackshaw, Crow will be responsible for broadening Harworth’s residential product range, which was identified as one of the key growth drivers of Harworth’s recently-announced strategy to double the size of its business over the next five to seven years.
Initially, he will oversee the development of a portfolio of up to 2,000 mixed tenure units, with an initial seed portfolio of up to 600 single-family units launching in 2022.
Most recently, Crow was head of Investments and Development Management at Engie Regeneration, where he was responsible for developing partnerships and securing inward investment from funding partners for Engie’s land holdings, most notably for its 2,300-home Rugeley Power Station regeneration scheme. He joined Engie following its acquisition of Keepmoat Regeneration, which he joined in 2017 as director of PRS and Residential Investments. Prior to this, he held development roles in Balfour Beaty Investment’s student and build to rent products portfolio and Quintain’s iQ Student Accommodation business.
