MEDIA RELEASE: Madigan Capital appoints Head of Capital and Investor Solutions

One of Australia’s leading institutional commercial real estate debt managers, Madigan Capital has announced the appointment of Luke Briscoe  to lead its Funds Management Team.

Luke’s appointment will strengthen Madigan’s institutional relationships and attractiveness to high-quality capital. This comes at a time when major investors are increasingly turning to the commercial real estate debt sector for sustainable and stable private market investment returns as part of a balanced portfolio.

CEO, Michael Wood said “Luke brings a wealth of experience, having served as Group Executive at ISPT and held key roles at other major groups including AMP Capital, GPT and Charter Hall. His addition to our team aligns with the rising interest from both local and offshore institutional investors in the sector and will support and accelerate Madigan’s continuing growth.”

The participation of institutional investors in commercial real estate lending has become more prevalent in Australia in recent years. Once the domain of retail and high net worth investors, institutions are now driving substantial growth in the asset class. Growth in the sector is driven by a multitude of factors including local banks reducing their exposure to commercial real estate and borrowers seeking more tailored capital solutions.

“As an institutional-only investment management firm, Madigan Capital is well placed to guide local and global institutional investment and work with high-quality borrowers. Drawing on the vast experience and proven capabilities of our team we provide tailored debt investment solutions, delivering sustainable and stable investment performance secured against real estate assets. It is a very exciting time to be in this market” added Wood.

Luke commented on his appointment, “I look forward to joining the Madigan team, drawing on my real estate experience and institutional capital relationships, to provide tailored financial solutions to investors and to further help position Madigan Capital as Australia’s real estate debt manager of choice for institutional capital.”
