Hines, the global real estate investment, development, and property manager, has made four new appointments to bolster its project management and development teams in line with the continued expansion of Hines’ UK business.
Tom Cazalet joins Hines as a development director, a role which will see him work on Hines’ 18 Blackfriars Road development in London, a highly amenitised, mixed-use environment.
Cazalet has spent the previous eight years at Battersea Power Station, the last four of which saw him working as development director, giving him valuable insight into the management of large-scale mixed use urban projects.
Chris Bunn has spent the past eight years at property and construction consultants McBains, most recently as an associate director, and joins Hines as development manager focused on mixed-use projects within Hines’ London portfolio.
Bunn is an experienced project manager across a variety of commercial real estate sectors, and his expertise in stakeholder engagement, construction management and value engineering will prove invaluable at Hines as he oversees the delivery of projects within Hines’ UK-wide development pipeline.
Catherine Turnbull, who joins Hines UK as an associate within the development management team, holds a BA in Architecture from the University of Sydney and a master’s degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Melbourne. She arrives from Gardiner & Theobald’s project management team where she has spent the past four years overseeing all aspects of commercial development projects across sectors and regions.
In her new role, Turnbull will be focused on some of Hines’ mixed-use developments in London, working closely with project teams and local stakeholders to continue Hines’ track record of developing high-specification, sustainable schemes which benefit local communities.
Andrew Flynn joins Hines as a project manager focused on the delivery of Hines’ fitout of the Grainhouse, a premier new office property on Drury Lane in the heart of Covent Garden which will serve as Hines’ new European and UK headquarters.
Flynn brings extensive project management experience to Hines, having overseen high-quality and complex fitout projects for companies including Morgan Stanley, UBS, Barclays, and Clifford Chance.
Over the past year, Hines has made 12 new UK appointments, reflecting the importance of the UK market to Hines’ strategy and demonstrating the firm’s plans for continued growth following a successful period of leasing and investment across a variety of sectors.
Ross Blair, senior managing director and country head of Hines UK, commented: 'The Hines UK team has a diverse and exciting pipeline of development and refurbishment projects across a range of sectors.
'Building on the existing expertise of our development and project management teams, each of these appointments will further strengthen our project delivery capabilities, ensuring our new developments in London and beyond continue to be completed to the highest possible standards and provide the maximum possible benefit for the local communities in which we invest.'
