As 2021 enters its second full week, there is an upswing in real estate industry leaders checking in from new work locations, as Blackstone brings on board a top level political veteran to advise its Japanese operation.

Also fortifying their teams during the first days of the year are the UK’s Chelsfield, and Singaporean sovereign wealth fund GIC.

Eiichi Hasegawa

US private equity giant Blackstone has fortified its Japanese operation by bringing on board a one-time top aide to former prime minister Shinzo Abe, the company announced in the closing days of 2020. Eiichi Hasegawa, formerly senior advisor to Abe, now holds the same job title with Blackstone, where he is expected to give direction on capital raising, investments and the economic outlook on behalf of his new team. In a regional move, Blackstone’s Kishore Moorjani has resigned from his role as head of the firm’s opportunistic investment platform for Asia, according to a Bloomberg report over the weekend. Menes Chee, a senior partner with the company’s New York office will be relocating to Hong Kong to take over from Moorjani in February.

Jun-ho Lee

Jun-Ho Lee has been promoted to group head of capital raising and investor relations at Chelsfield in Hong Kong, just over three and a half years after joining the UK developer and fund manager. Lee, who holds degrees from the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands and the University of Hong Kong, also has prior experience with UK developer Grosvenor Limited in Hong Kong, where he served from 2012 through 2017.

Tianyi Wang has joined GIC as a vice president, based in Shanghai, according to an update to his LinkedIn profile. Wang signed up with the Singaporean sovereign wealth fund after nearly five and a half years with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), where he served most recently as an investment manager. The University of British Columbia graduate also has previous experience at Goldman Sachs and CBRE.

Alex Perkins

Data centre specialist Alex Perkins has joined Stratus Data Centres in Hong Kong as chief development officer with the firm, according to an update to his LinkedIn profile.

The National University of Singapore graduate also has prior experience with Mann+Hummel Group and World Green Building Council in the city.
