A NEW managing director has joined the fold at Greystar, tasked with investor relations in the Asia-Pacific region.
Bianca Solomons brings 12 years of experience to the official position of managing director, investor relations, Asia-Pacific as she makes the transition from her recent role at Alceon Group.
Solomons was head of institutional capital and head of debt for her previous employer where she spent four years. Prior to that she worked for Australia and New Zealand Banking Group for eight years where she worked in underwriting, arranging and syndicating corporate and structured loans.
Joining Greystar and taking charge of relationships in the Asia-Pacific region will be a big task for Bianca but nothing she can’t handle according to Adam Pillay.
“Bianca’s strong technical and investing experience will be critical as we continue to raise capital to grow the Asia-Pacific platform,” said Pillay, executive director, investment management, Asia-Pacific.
“She has a deep understanding of institutional investor needs and a strong track record of sourcing equity and debt capital for real estate strategies. She will be instrumental in the evolution of our investment management platform and our real estate credit strategies in the coming years ahead.”
The Asia-Pacific business of Greystar is actively investing in the major rental housing markets of Australia, Japan and China in multiple asset classes. These include multifamily development, value-add acquisitions, logistics and tactical credit opportunities.
Bianca is a member of the Property Council of Australia’s Capital Markets Committee and a member of Women in Investments.
She’s keen to dive in and add to Greystar’s already huge reputation.
“I am very excited to be joining the Greystar team, a dominant global franchise in rental housing with a truly unique owner, operator and developer business model. Greystar is well positioned to continue to grow and perform in the rental housing, logistics and life sciences sectors due to positive long term tailwinds and scalability across each sector. I am looking forward to working closely with Greystar’s talented team to add to the exemplary track record delivered to our institutional investors to date.”
