CBRE’s Manchester Capital Markets team expands

The Manchester office of CBRE has expanded its Capital Markets team with the appointment of Luke Wilson as Surveyor. Luke joins from CBRE’s Graduate Scheme having obtained MRICS status in November 2014 and previously undertaking degrees in Commercial Property and Town Planning at the University of Sheffield

In 2014 CBRE’s North West Capital Markets team firmly established itself as the No 1 in the market, advising on over £500m of investment transactions in the year, with ground breaking deals including the £132 sale of City Tower for Bruntwood Estates and the £57m acquisition of Chancery Place in central Manchester for NFU Mutual. 2015 looks set to be an equally busy year for the team with several major deals already in the pipeline.

Colin Thomasson, Senior Director of Capital Markets at CBRE Manchester, said; “After an incredibly successful year, we are preparing for a similarly strong 2015 as investment activity within the North West continues to pick up pace. Luke already understands the CBRE business and will be a valuable addition to our busy team.”

Luke continues; “I am excited about the new opportunity and look forward to working with the Capital Markets team on a host of high profile instructions throughout the North West.”
