Hadley Dean will head Echo Prime Properties, the Polish portfolio of S.A. REIT Redefine and Griffin Real Estate, worth nearly PLN 4.5bn. The former managing partner for Colliers International’s CEE operations had recently left the company to develop the serviced offices company Compass.
Dean told propertynews.pl his first step will be to introduce the fund to two stock markets, one of which will be in Europe, once the fund’s structures are unified. (Company representatives said earlier this year that it won’t be listed on the Warsaw bourse). He added that while the fund will continue cooperating closely with Echo Investment, it also continues to look for other opportunities on the Polish market, including potential acquisitions.
