Trilogy Real Estate LLP, the value-add investment and development business founded by Robert Wolstenholme, has announced Laurence Jones as its new Head of Asset Management.

Jones joins from Picton where he was Senior Asset Manager. He was previously an Assistant Fund Manager at CBRE Global Investors, and a Central London Retail Agent at Dalgleish /CBRE. 

Robert Wolstenholme said: “We are delighted that Laurence Jones has joined Trilogy.  He brings significant depth to our asset management team as we continue to pursue our mixed-use, hands-on real estate strategies in the most dynamic cities and neighbourhoods of the UK."

The appointment further bolsters the 10-strong team which is currently on site with schemes in East London and Manchester, and is actively seeking new opportunities to reposition tired or overlooked assets to create contemporary workplaces and mixed-use destinations.

The news comes as Republic at London’s East India Dock, with investors LaSalle Investment Management, prepares to launch its first phase. The scheme has already attracted tenants such as Deliveroo and creative co-working space Trampery.

Great Northern Warehouse in central Manchester, backed by Peterson Group of Hong Kong, is set to submit for planning in Autumn 2017.
