Primary care property specialist Assura continues to strengthen its senior team this month, with the appointment of an Associate Director of Property.
Chartered surveyor Patrick Lowther joins the Warrington-based real estate investment trust to further drive its investment strategy – following eight years with Savills Investment Management, where he was focused on delivering a number of core and core plus investment strategies on behalf of domestic pension funds, and more recently overseas sovereign investors. Patrick previously spent seven years at ING Real Estate as part of the acquisition and investment teams.
Patrick will work closely with Assura’s Property Director Andrew Darke, who says: “We’re delighted to have Patrick joining us in this brand new role for the company. As our portfolio and development pipeline continue to grow at such a pace, his expertise, experience and international outlook will be integral to our long-term strategy.”
Patrick adds: "I believe that now is a very exciting time to be joining Assura - as a REIT their portfolio and position in the market is held in high regard, and I look forward to working with the team to identify the systemic investment opportunities in the Healthcare sector now and into the future.”
With 422 primary care properties and a total annualised rent roll of £76.9m, Assura currently has a £146m pipeline of acquisitions and developments around the country.
