Native Land has appointed JLL’s former chief executive of South East Asia Chris Fossick as a non-executive director.
Fossick oversaw JLL’s South East Asia business for more than 17 years and during this stint he helped clients acquire and sell more than $30bn worth of commercial real estate in Singapore, Japan, South East Asia and Europe, and advised investors and occupiers on more than 80m sq ft of commercial leasing transactions.
Alasdair Nicholls, chief executive of Native Land, said: “As one of the Asia market’s leading advisors, Chris will bring a significant global real estate perspective to Native Land’s board. His experience and expertise will provide a valuable bridge between the Asia and UK markets, at a time when our business with major Asian partners and brands continues to grow.”
Fossick added: “Native Land is one of the most recognised and respected developers in the UK with a strong Asian connection through capital partners and investors. I am absolutely delighted to be joining them as a non-executive director and I look forward very much to supporting them in Asia and helping them build on their already strong relationships and brand in this region.
“There has been and continues to be strong interest from Asia based investors in the London and UK commercial, residential and hospitality real estate sectors and Native Land is in a great position to offer investors the opportunity to partner with a highly trusted and leading developer of outstanding spaces in one of the most attractive and dynamic real estate markets in the world.”
