LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hightower, the leading leasing and asset management platform for the commercial property industry, has appointed Eoin Condren as Head of Commercial Operations for Europe.
Eoin, who joins Hightower’s rapidly expanding UK office, will initially work in sales to grow Hightower’s presence across Europe before taking the lead on scaling account management and operations.
Eoin was previously Vice President at W.P. Carey, where he focused on sourcing assets for their value-added platforms, ranging from student housing to retail warehousing across Europe. Eoin has approximately ten years experience in real estate private equity. Prior to joining W.P. Carey he worked at London based real estate private equity firm Brandeaux, and has experience in the energy private equity sector in New York City.
Eoin Condren, Head of Commercial Operations for Europe at Hightower, said: “Having studied the proptech sector closely I believe that Hightower is well positioned to be in the vanguard of the change the industry is undergoing. Hightower’s management has already built an exceptional team and product, and I’m looking forward to playing a part in driving the company forward in the UK and Europe.
“Commercial real estate is one of the largest asset classes in the world, and yet in most cases companies function with outdated systems. During my time in the industry, I’ve worked on many small, entrepreneurial teams where we had to get our hands dirty not only on the investing side, but on the asset management side as well. Through it all, I’ve seen my teams spend far too long sifting through messy data. I’m excited to be a part of a best-in-class company that is leading the way in providing real estate professionals with a tech solution that will answer their needs.”
Brandon Weber, CEO and Co-founder at Hightower, said: “We’ve had great success bringing our leasing and asset management platform to North America, and think that Eoin is the perfect hire to drive Hightower’s expansion into the European market. Eoin understands the unique nuances of the various European property markets and has the vision to see where this technology can take us.
Eoin joins a strong London team including recent hire UK Sales Director Sebastian Abigail, formerly at Knight Frank. The team is responsible for introducing Hightower’s cutting edge software to the UK real estate market and offering commercial owners and their leasing teams new powerful data management and reporting capabilities.
