Real estate developer and investment house The Blackmore Group has opened an office in London.
The Manchester-headquartered company has launched its Mayfair office following the acquisition of several high-profile property development sites in the South of England and a renewed focus on capital markets.
The Blackmore Group works with partners such as JLL, Grant Thornton, and Strutt and Parker. It recently bolstered its senior team with the appointment of Ricky Poonia, former head of the residential capital markets and investment team at BNP Paribas, as its new head of real estate.
Poonia will head up the new London office alongside Patrick McCreesh, CEO of real estate, and will be responsible for strengthening relationships with key investors and partners, building the company’s reputation in capital markets and growing Blackmore’s real estate arm.
He will be joined by a team of six staff, and the company has ambitious plans for growth after the introduction of the new London office.
Late last year The Blackmore Group relocated its headquarters to The XYZ Building at the heart of the financial services community in Spinningfields after the expansion of the team. The launch of the new Mayfair office comes as the group starts on several new real estate projects including Fusion Court in Stratford and The Park in Ealing.
“London is the main hub for major property companies and institutional investments so it’s the natural step for The Blackmore Group to open an office which is at the heart of the sector, and the industry as a whole,” said McCreesh.
