BNP Paribas Real Estate (BNPPRE) today announced that Andrew Screen has been appointed as Head of Residential Capital Markets.
Screen joins BNPPRE from Cortland where he headed up investment in Europe for almost four years. Prior to this, he has held senior roles at ReSI Capital Management, CBRE and GVA. Highly regarded for his deal making successes as well as an expert Build to Rent commentator, regular speaker, chair and moderator at conferences across Europe, he will lead the team alongside Simon Williams, Head of National Markets, providing market-leading intelligence to clients seeking to capture the activity and growth within the sector as it will become increasingly attractive to developers and investors.
Andrew has a background in merchant banking, property development, investment and structured finance and was instrumental in rolling out Cortland’s GBP4bn Build to Rent development and investment platform in the UK. He has over 20 years’ experience in residential development and investment and was a pioneer in Build to Rent, forward funding, development, joint ventures and investment. Andrew is a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and sits on the BPF Build to Rent and UKAA Investor Lender Committees.
Simon Williams, Head of National Markets at BNP Paribas Real Estate commented: “Andrew is an exceptional hire for the business, and one which places an established market leader at the helm of our Residential Capital Markets client activity. Increasingly, the BTR sector requires experienced advisory input as competition for sites and shifting trends make it easy to make mistakes.
