Quadrant has hired Patrick Waters and Jeremy Lacey from Chelsfield as development directors.
Waters has more than 35 years’ experience in the UK property market and was most recently Chelsfield’s London development director. Prior to that, he was a partner at Southern Properties Group, where he built up a mixed-use development and investment portfolio, and a partner at Donaldsons.
Lacey (pictured) has more than 20 years’ experience in the real estate industry, and before joining Chelsfield he also worked at Southern Properties Group for seven years, focusing on development and investment management.
At Quadrant, Waters and Lacey will work on the company’s existing Central London office projects, including YY London in Canary Wharf and OSMO in Battersea, as well as exploring new office and mixed-use opportunities.
Tristram Gethin, partner at Quadrant, said: “Patrick and Jeremy have a long track record of working together successfully. Their experience will complement that of our existing colleagues and it’s great to have them working with us. As we look to explore additional opportunities in Central London and grow the team further, their senior counsel will be a valuable resource.”
Waters added: “The quality of Quadrant’s existing schemes and its team, which brings together highly respected, experienced professionals and the brightest rising stars, was a real draw for me to work with the firm. Some exceptional opportunities exist in the London market currently and Quadrant has the team, network and backing to be able to explore and take advantage of them.”
Lacey said: “The YY London and OSMO schemes demonstrate Quadrant’s exceptional ability to develop buildings that set a new benchmark for London offices in terms of technology, sustainability and modern working practices. I am excited to play a role in these outstanding projects, and to support the development of additional new schemes that continue to raise the bar.”
