Melburg has appointed Matt Babai from MHA as an investment associate.
At MHA, Babai was an associate director and led execution across mid-market M&A transactions, management buyouts, equity raises and complex debt structures. In his new role, he will support Melburg’s London-based acquisition and management teams.
A spokesperson for Melburg said: “Matt joins at the busiest point in the firm’s history. Milton Keynes was our fourth owner-occupier acquisition in six months and takes our logistics platform beyond 2.5m sq ft, while our living business has grown to more than 2,500 beds. We have discretionary capital available to deploy today and several large-scale acquisitions in the pipeline. We look forward to Matt making a positive contribution as the firm continues to diversify and expand.”
Babai added: “Melburg’s research-led, highly discreet approach to real estate investment is exactly where I want to build my career after eight years advising on mid-market transactions. The platform’s track record of growth and market outperformance speaks for itself and I’m looking forward to bringing my transaction and modelling background to the acquisitions and asset management teams as Melburg continues to deploy capital at pace through both the direct real estate business and venture capital arm.”
