Cheesegrater owner CC Land has appointed Resolution Property’s Adam Goldin as head of its UK business.
The position is one of the country’s most coveted property jobs, overseeing future investments for the Hong Kong-listed company, which stormed the market this year with three high-profile acquisitions.
CC Land made its debut UK acquisition in January with the purchase of One Kingdom Street, W2, from TH Real Estate for £292m.
Four months later it sealed the £1.15bn deal to buy the Leadenhall Building, EC3, from Oxford Properties and British Land, and last month it again made headlines with the joint purchase with R&F Properties of the £470m Nine Elms Square site from St Modwen.
Goldin will oversee future investment decisions and manage CC Land’s London assets.
A protégé of the Ritblat family, Goldin was acquisitions executive at Delancey for almost eight years before joining Resolution as head of UK investment last summer.
He will continue in his role at Resolution until November before moving straight into his new role at CC Land.
Goldin has a track record of leading major development projects as well as creating major investment portfolios, reflecting the mix of C C Land’s current portfolio and ambitions.
His projects include East Village, the former Athletes Village in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, E20, and the Elephant & Castle Shopping centre redevelopment, SE1 – one of London’s largest regeneration projects.
CC Land recently set up a London office at 8 Hill Street, W1. Jason Leong, who was formerly based in the firm’s Hong Kong office, has relocated to London to focus on the asset management side of the business.
The company is looking to make three further hires in the short term: a development manager; an analyst; and an office manager.
CC Land is expected to continue to pursue both development and investment opportunities on an asset-by-asset consideration, with future areas of investment possibly including the private rented sector and co-living.
The London office is seen as a potential base from which to pursue investment opportunities in mainland Europe.
