INREV, the European Association for Investors in Non-listed Real Estate Vehicles, has announced the appointment of Judy Hill as its first Chief Executive. The appointment follows INREVââ¬â¢s rapid growth since its formal launch in May this year, and reflects INREVââ¬â¢s commitment to improving liquidity in the non-listed real estate vehicle market.
Commenting on her appointment, Judy Hill said: ââ¬ÅI am delighted to be joining INREV, a truly pan-European organisation. INREVââ¬â¢s members have already demonstrated their commitment to the association: now itââ¬â¢s time to start rewarding their good faith by delivering on our objectives.ââ¬Â
Michiel Olland, Chairman of INREV, and Executive Vice President European and Asian Real Estate ABP Investments, one of the worldââ¬â¢s largest pension funds, said: ââ¬ÅINREVââ¬â¢s growth to date has exceeded my expectations. Judyââ¬â¢s appointment means we can continue to build on our excellent start.ââ¬Â
Judy Hill will be based mostly at INREVââ¬â¢s Amsterdam office. Until recently she consulted for Oxford Property Consultants (OPC) in the UK; before that she was head of research and business development at Chartwell Land, the property arm of European retailer Kingfisher plc.
INREV website goes live
INREVââ¬â¢s website went live this week, at www.inrev.org. The website includes a members only area, with the INREV database of unlisted real estate vehicles. Currently the database covers nearly 200 vehicles; the target for next Spring is around 400. The data is drawn from the Property Vehicles Database, a joint venture between Oxford Property Consultants and Investment Property Databank.
INREV moves to new office
INREV has moved into its own office, in the WTC (World Trade Center) in Amsterdam; previously EPRA (the European Public Real Estate Association) provided office space for the association. Van Dijk & Ten Cate advised INREV in its office search and lease.
