NATIONAL real estate and advisory firm LAWD has chosen its new CEO in Enda Foley, as the company continues its expansion across the Australian property landscape.
Foley is set to commence at LAWD in mid-August, bringing a long history in the real estate industry, including 14 years of leadership at CBRE, where he held senior positions in finance and operational roles, including most recently as global chief financial officer for the group’s global workplace solutions division.
“Enda has an exceptional background in the real estate industry and will bring key expertise and experience to support LAWD as it takes its next step as a best-in-class professional property firm for our clients and our team,” said Tim McKinnon, senior director at LAWD.
“He also has a demonstrated ability to successfully develop and grow newly formed service lines within a wider organisation which, as we seek to expand the LAWD offering, will be instrumental to our growth and the spectrum of services we deliver.”
LAWD has overseen more than $3 billion in property sales across the industry since it was established, as well as having completed the valuation of over $10 billion in property in Australia.
“From day one, our focus has been on delivering the best results for our clients by merging our many years of collective experience with an innovative approach to how we do business, leveraging the broad skillset we have spread across offices in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth,” said Peter Sagar, senior director of development transactions and advisory at LAWD.
Major transactions managed by LAWD have included the sale of the 50 cropping properties in western Victoria and south-eastern South Australia in the Corinella Group Portfolio for $370 million, as well as one of the largest farmland deals of 2021, in the sale of Macquarie Agriculture’s 100,000ha Lawson Grains for over $550 million.
“The appointment of Enda, our rapidly growing team and expanding geographic presence means we are ideally placed to best serve Australia’s property sectors, and we are motivated to continue to grow and operate as one of the largest and most effective firms of our type in the country,” concluded Sagar.
