Brave Corporation, the real estate company set up by Caleb Parker, founder of co-working business Bold, last month has made a duo of senior hires.
The business, which aims to “bridge the gap between office supply and demand to mitigate the rise of stranded assets” has appointed investment expert Rachel Lupiani and hospitality leader Ian Minor to lead Brave’s opco/propco structure.
Brave Capital will be the group’s direct investment arm and will be led by Lupiani. Lupiani brings with her real estate investment skills from firms including Oaktree Capital, Carlyle Group and LaSalle Investment Management.
Lupiani will lead Brave’s disciplined underwriting approach with a focus on identifying assets at risk of becoming stranded to reposition them as “Brave campuses”.
Brave Hospitality, the brand-led opco, will be led by Minor, who counts launching ventures such as Working From_ for the Hoxton hotel brand by Ennismore among his successes.
Brave said its campuses would provide fully managed spaces, on-demand availability, and flexibly leased HQ spaces in major cities.
