Railpen has appointed Parminder Singh as development director in its property team.
Singh, who has more than 20 years’ experience leading the development of landmark schemes across a range of sectors in the UK, most recently served as head of development in the UK for Nan Fung Life Sciences Real Estate. Prior to that, he worked for Lendlease, Clivedale London and Mapletree Investments.
In his new role, he will work across Railpen’s property portfolio, spending a significant proportion of his time working on major London refurbishment projects and leading the delivery of its innovation cluster in Cambridge.
Matthew Howard, head of property at Railpen, said: “The appointment of Parminder is another important milestone in our strategy to develop a portfolio of best-in-class assets that will establish a new benchmark in their respective sectors. His depth of experience, track record and commercial acumen will ensure we go beyond even our own expectations, creating places that help occupiers thrive, generate secure long-term returns for our members, and support the UK’s wider economic and social growth.”
Singh added: “The UK market is changing, with evolving occupier needs and wants, combined with shifting market dynamics, creating demands of buildings that require real innovation and creativity from developers. I believe Railpen has the vision required and a portfolio that is second-to-none, and I have the skills, experience and drive to help make it a reality. This is an exciting time to be joining the organisation, and I look forward to working with the team to create a series of very special assets.”
