Martin Jepson to drive Brookfield's UK expansion

Hammerson’s former head of London, Martin Jepson, has joined New York-based property company Brookfield Office Properties as senior vice president, investment and development.

Jepson, who announced his resignation from Hammerson in July, will oversee Brookfield’s investment and development activities in the UK, including the 925,000 sq ft, 40-storey 100 Bishopsgate tower, being developed in a joint venture with Great Portland Estates, in the City of London.

Dennis Friedrich, president and global chief investment officer for Brookfield Office Properties, said: “Martin Jepson brings an impressive track record and extensive local expertise to Brookfield Office Properties’ operations in the UK.

“We’re committed to expanding our presence in the UK both through development as well as new, strategic property investments and Martin will be integral in these endeavors.”

Prior to his role as managing director of Hammerson’s London group, Jepson was London regional director at Taylor Woodrow Property Company and development director at Delancey.

Brookfield has interests in 109 properties totaling 78m sq ft, predominantly in the US, Canada and Australia.
