#60 Paddy Allen, Head of Operational Capital Markets - Colliers

Here Paddy and his team specializes in providing a full suite of capital services, including equity and debt raising, transactional services, operational consulting, and real estate technology, to investors and operating platforms in various sectors where real estate investment performance is directly linked to an operational business.

Paddy has a deep expertise in Build to Rent, Student Accommodation, Hotels, Co-living, and other emerging sectors.

He is also an advisor and investor to businesses across real estate, technology, and wellbeing and he is the Chair of Pathways to Property, a not-for-profit initiative to increase diversity, social mobility, and inclusion within the real estate sector.

Paddy holds a BSc (Hons) in Land Management from the University of Reading and has completed the Real Estate Management program at Harvard Business School.

I sat down with Paddy to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:

* How he got into real estate

* Impact of being rejected by Cambridge University

* Operational real estate

* Not taking no for an answer

* Building a high performing team

* Openers & Closers

* Overcoming self-doubt

* Types of capital / companies entering the operational landscape

* BTR, PBSA, Hotels, Co-Living & Self Storage

* Pathways to property

 

Oh, and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place would Paddy invest should he have £500m of capital at his disposal.
