BlackRock has appointed Partners Group’s head of European real estate Thomas Müller as managing director and portfolio manager of its European real estate business.
He will be based in London and work with the fund manager’s property teams in the UK, Germany, France, Denmark and Poland on value-added real estate strategies across Europe, involving repositioning, rebuilding and recapitalising properties.
Müller worked previously as a principal banker at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and as a senior associate at Baker & McKenzie.
Tom Lee, BlackRock’s head of European real estate, said: “There is a compelling opportunity set across major European gateway cities, given long-term underinvestment and improving tenant demand.”
