Stanhope has appointed George Ellaby from Savills as an investment executive.
Ellaby spent eight years at Savills, most recently serving as an associate director in the Central London Investment team.
In his new role, Ellaby will be based in London and will report to Stanhope’s head of investment Joe Binns. Alongside Binns, he will be responsible for identifying, underwriting, structuring and executing new investment opportunities across London, with a focus on the City of London and West End, on behalf of Stanhope’s institutional capital partners.
Binns said: “George has firmly established himself as a trusted adviser to several leading institutional investors active in the London office market. He brings exactly the combination of relationships, technical underwriting capability and transaction experience we need as we look to grow our investment activity. These attributes will be hugely valuable as we look to accelerate our acquisition activity on behalf of our capital partners.”
Ellaby added: “Stanhope’s 30-year track record of delivering some of London’s most iconic buildings puts it in rarified company. I’m incredibly excited to be joining David, Joe and the wider team at what is a compelling point in the cycle for high conviction office investors. The market is creating attractive opportunities for investors with capital, conviction and the ability to execute, and Stanhope is exceptionally well placed to identify and unlock those opportunities.”
