Global real estate investment manager TH Real Estate has further expanded its Australian team with the appointment of Chris Maher as Transaction Manager, Australia. Chris will be based in Sydney and report to Nick Evans, Head of Australia for TH Real Estate.
In his new role, Chris will work collaboratively with the region’s Head of Asset Management, Jayson Egan, and the business analytics function to provide support to TH Real Estate’s local business and Nick Evans. He will be responsible for acquisition, pricing, transaction execution, and financial modelling for potential opportunities, and managing the disposal of assets identified for sale.
Chris brings seven years’ valuation, analysis and underwriting experience across multiple sectors, with a good understanding of the real estate investment management industry. He joins from Vicinity Group, where he focused on transaction management of approximately $1.5 billion worth of Real Estate. Prior to that, Chris held analyst roles at companies including Pembroke Real Estate and Challenger Limited.
Commenting on the appointment, Nick Evans said: “Chris’ exceptional transaction management experience and intimate understanding of the local market will be a strong addition to our Australian team and believe he will support the growth of the business in this region significantly.”
This appointment complements the ongoing expansion of the Australian team and follows the recent appointment of Lisa Peng as Real Estate Investment Analyst.
Established in Australia since April 2014, TH Real Estate has built a portfolio of Australian real estate assets of around A$1.04b. The real estate specialist has also advised some of Australia’s largest institutional investors on their international real estate investments, including AustralianSuper and the FutureFund.
“We have built real momentum over the past three years in Australia, evident by the number of high-profile acquisitions and team appointments. Chris’ appointment is further testament to our long-term commitment to build a successful business in Australia,” Mr Evans said.
