Asia Real Estate People in the News 2018-10-08

2018/10/08 by Michael Cole Leave a Comment

After making our way through days of mooncakes and national celebrations this past two weeks, Asia is back to work in earnest today with top level real estate investment and development executives finding new desks to launch their emails from. Leading our list is the departure of a top executive for Starwood Capital in Hong Kong, while another private equity firm adds to its team in Tokyo. Also, once-defaulting developer Kaisa Holdings is looking healthy these days as it begins to build a team to operate internationally from Hong Kong. Read on for all the details on this week’s people moves from around the region.

Kevin Colket StarwoodStarwood Capital Group Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific Acquisitions Kevin Colket is on his way from the private equity firm that he helped to lead for more than eleven years as the Harvard MBA-holder announced this week that he is on gardening leave from Barry Sternlicht’s investment group. Colket, who first joined Starwood in 2007 and has been based in Hong Kong since 2015, has only revealed that he is currently on gardening leave, and did not respond to inquiries from Mingtiandi about potential future roles before the time of publication.

charlie haaseCharles Haase has joined Aetos Capital in Japan as Managing Director for Investor Relationship Management, based in Tokyo. Hasse comes to the private equity real estate investment firm from okyu Land Corporation’s US Planning Group after first joining the Japanese firm in 2012. The PhD holder from the University of California at Davis also has previous experience with California state pension fund CalSTRS.

Wong’s new role involves establishing a property development and investment team for Hong Kong and other locations outside of the mainland, according to his LinkedIn profile, as well as strategic planning and business development. Wong most recently spent more than four years with the UK’s Grosvenor Group in Hong Kong and also has experience with the Empire Group and Swire Properties.

The graduate of the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam Universities also has previous experience with Colliers International and Credit Suisse.

Allan also has six years prior experience with the Executive Centre in Shanghai and spent four years at Servcorp.
