Paris-headquartered La Française Real Estate Managers (REM) has appointed Antoine Le Treut as deputy managing director, in charge of the institutional division for France (asset and fund management), effective 27 June.
In this capacity, Antoine Le Treut succeeds David Rendall, who will focus on developing La Française REM's international real estate business.
Since joining La Française in 2014, Rendall has spearheaded the expansion of international real estate asset management, including establishing a presence in Seoul and Singapore.
Le Treut will pursue the development of the real estate management mandate offering and more generally distribution activities with institutional investors in France.
Supported by thirty professionals, Antoine Le Treut will report to Philippe Depoux, CEO of La Française REM.
Said Depoux: 'I am particularly pleased to welcome Antoine Le Treut, with whom I have already had the opportunity to work at Gecina. He will bring to La Française REM his fine knowledge of the French real estate market and its actors, as well as his vast experience as an investor, seller and real estate asset manager.
'He will be responsible for developing the real estate activity in France for institutional investors. Over the course of his career, Antoine has closed over a hundred transactions across all asset classes, representing close to 16 billion euros.
'In turn, David Rendall will focus entirely on international real estate business development, a priority for La Française REM. In addition to his role as Head of International Real Estate, David Rendall will expand his responsibilities to include managing director La Française REM UK, thereby succeeding Peter Balfour, recently retired.'
Le Treut began his career at Unibail Rodamco in 2005 as investment manager and was later named corporate retail operations director. He thereafter joined Gecina in 2011, as investment director, before being appointed successively head of investments in 2016 and head of portfolio management in 2023.
Le Treut is a graduate of the ESSEC Business School.
