- Bill Bateman, who joined Nuveen Real Estate as head of European housing at the end of 2020 to manage and grow the firm’s activity in the living sector across the region; and
- Naofumi Une, who joined the existing housing team in Japan as transactions manager.
Shklaz and Chauhan would be based in London and work closely with development and operating partners to help drive value from design and operations respectively.
