Private real estate investment, asset management and development company L&O has appointed Henry Bott as a partner.
Bott, who has 15 years’ experience working across the US, China and South East Asia, joins the firm from the real estate arm of global conglomerate Swire Group where he most recently served as president of Swire Properties USA.
In his new role, he will work closely with L&O’s leadership team to accelerate growth initiatives and support key projects, including the expansion of the Buckingham Green mixed-use estate in Victoria and the delivery of 38 Finsbury Square, an HQ office redevelopment in partnership with Legal & General.
Mark Cannell, partner at L&O, said: “Henry’s appointment is a key step in driving our next phase of growth. His global perspective and deep expertise in asset repositioning and mixed-use development will be invaluable as we expand our investor base and advance major projects such as the redevelopment of Windsor & Christchurch House at Buckingham Green. Despite ongoing market uncertainty, London remains a highly attractive investment destination. We see strong opportunities ahead, particularly for those with a steady hand and a level head. Henry will play a central role in helping us realise these.”
Bott added: “L&O’s core values closely align with my own and I’m excited to join at such a dynamic stage of its growth. The opportunity to broaden the investor base and deliver impactful projects is compelling. The transformation of the Buckingham Green estate is particularly exciting- an opportunity to create a more holistic, truly integrated and experience-led destination that will contribute meaningfully to the future of Victoria and St James’s Park.”
