London developer Co-Re has poached a development and investment director from Kajima as its new senior development manager.
Alex Parsons, who was with the Japanese developer for four years, will join Co-Re as it gears up to deliver a series of major projects in the capital.
Co-Re is working on the redevelopments of 120 Fleet Street, EC4, the former ITV London Studios at 72 Upper Ground, SE1, Lansdowne House on Berkeley Square, W1, The Fitzrovia on Tottenham Court Road, and 20 Ropemaker Street, EC2, which is currently under construction and prelet to Linklaters.
Parsons worked on a series of projects and deals at Kajima including the planning and delivery of prime City office scheme 77 Coleman Street, EC2 (pictured).
Prior to Kajima, she was a development manager at Skanska Properties, involved in the delivery of the Monument Building, EC3, and 51 Moorgate,EC2.
Parsons said: “The pandemic has caused us all to question the way we work and what we need from our office space. Now is a more exciting time than ever to join Co-Re, who are delivering the best offices in London with a forward-thinking focus on collaboration, sustainability and wellbeing.”
David Ainsworth, chief executive of Co-Re, added: “Alex is our fourth major hire since the start of the lockdown and reflects our desire to recruit the very best talent in the market and to add to our existing highly experienced team.
“Her impressive track record speaks for itself, but we are particularly excited about the experience that she can bring to the table from her work on major projects like 77 Coleman Street.”
