CBRE has hired Jeremy Eddy as head of living capital markets for Europe.
Eddy joins from JLL where he was head of living and hospitality EMEA. He joined JLL’s capital markets team in 1998 and led the retail division before leading the living and hospitality business.
At CBRE, Eddy will report to Chris Brett, head of capital markets, Europe.
He will be responsible for the leadership of all components of CBRE’s European living capital markets platform, including multifamily, co-living, purpose-built student accommodation, affordable housing, senior living and healthcare.
Brett said: “Eddy’s appointment highlights our commitment to driving our market participation rate in one of the fastest-growing sectors of the European real estate market and will enable us to provide a more seamless service to clients across the whole Living spectrum.
“He will coordinate our geographical and technical expertise from across the region, ensuring we use the full suite of capabilities within our integrated capital markets platform to provide holistic solutions to clients across all of these asset classes.”
Eddy added: “It is an exciting time for the living sector which has, in the past five years, cemented itself as a mainstay in the majority of investment portfolios.
“This upward trend is only going to continue thanks to the underlying strength of the occupier market and robust rental growth and consequently there is a huge opportunity to develop and enhance CBRE’s service offering.”
