Dominic Grace, the long-standing former head of London residential development at Savills, has joined Austrian proptech company Propster as a special adviser to support its expansion to the UK.
Grace left Savills last month after 37 years with the agent. He led the London residential development team, overseeing 140 staff working on land and development of private and affordable housing.
Propster uses cloud-based digital tools to streamline real estate transactions and claims to increase residential off-plan sales by 45%, based on experience in Europe.
The company was part of Pi Labs’ 2020 accelerator programme and recently raised €3m in seed-plus funding. It works with 90 residential and commercial developers in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Slovenia.
Grace said: “Propster’s platform adds real value to the improvement of customer-centric digitisation of the buying process, with a proven track record across various European markets… Entering the UK is a natural step for Propster and I am very pleased to be a part of this next stage of their journey.”
