Dominvs Group Announces Martin Samworth Appointment

Construction News Image
London-based real estate investor and developer Dominvs Group has appointed Martin Samworth, the former Chairman and CEO of CBRE's Advisory business in APAC and EMEA, to its Board as a non-executive director.

Dominvs is looking to continue to expand its £2.4 billion pipeline across the PBSA, residential, retail and hotels sectors with capabilities spanning acquisitions, design, planning, development, and asset management.

Last week, Dominvs received unanimous consent from Wandsworth Council to deliver dual-branded hotels in Nine Elms that will deliver 837 rooms to pan-European tenants.

Previously, Dominvs completed the UK's largest ever PBSA forward funding deal - £173.25 million - for Dominvs' Hammersmith 713-bed scheme. Dominvs reworked the Hammersmith site in west London after initial planning consent was secured for two hotels. One of these hotels went ahead and after the support of Imperial College London, Dominvs won unanimous consent from Hammersmith and Fulham Council in March to deliver the PBSA scheme at the southern end of the site.

Samworth will be advising on strategy, operational efficiency and governance, as well as helping Dominvs to expand its £2.4billion pipeline across the UK.

Preet Ahluwalia, Principal, Dominvs Group, said: "Martin's wealth of experience in the global investment and development market and his knowledge across a range of asset classes will be invaluable as we look to expand our £2.4 billion cross-sector development pipeline across the UK. The sector agnostic approach we've taken over the last 18 months is owed to an agility to reposition our portfolio during the market changes caused by the pandemic, and we're confident Martin's counsel will take us from strength to strength."

Martin Samworth, Non-executive director, Dominvs Group, said: "Dominvs Group sets itself apart as a dynamic, well funded, investment and development company, that understands the value of pace and scale. The rate at which Dominvs is securing sites, forming partnerships and its deal-making capabilities, is a promising window into the company's future as it grows its exposure to the living sectors. I'm excited to be part of the journey, supporting the Dominvs team with strategy and execution."
