Centuria Property Funds — the property funds management subsidiary of Centuria Capital — has appointed Andrew Essey as national leasing manager.
He joins the fund manager from DTZ, where he was a director and responsible for leasing and sales within Sydney's North Shore industrial and office park markets for the past six years.
In his new role, he will be responsible for managing and coordinating the leasing of the group's office, industrial and retail assets, in addition to providing strategic input into asset acquisition and disposal processes.
"Andrew's appointment is aligned with our strategic aim of building a more competitive business via the acquisition of larger, higher quality assets in major metro cities in Australia," Centuria Property Funds chief executive Jason Huljich said.
"He has strong relationships with many of our external service providers, which is a key component to the successful ongoing performance of the property portfolio."
