Lendlease today announced that senior property industry executive, Penny Ransom, had been appointed Lendlease Group Head of Investments, reporting to Global Chief Executive Officer, Tony Lombardo.
Currently the Chief Investment Officer at Investa, Penny will be responsible for Lendlease’s global capital partner relationships and growing the Group’s global funds under management – providing its existing and potential new capital partners with attractive investment opportunities. In turn, this will provide support for the delivery of the Lendlease’s $112 billion global development pipeline while enabling the Group, together with its investment partners, to capture new opportunities in the regions in which it operates.
Commencing at Lendlease on 14 June 2022, Penny will bring to the role nearly 30 years of global investment management and institutional real estate experience gained across some of Australia’s largest property companies including Investa, Dexus, Lendlease and Colliers International Australia.
In her current role at Investa, Penny is responsible for all investments across the Group as well as strategy development and implementation. During the past 12 months, this included the creation of a major partnership to develop Sydney CBD’s Parkline Place, the creation of the $2.3 billion Investa Gateway Office venture (subject to conditions precedent) and the execution of Oxford Properties’ Australian Build to Rent strategy.
Penny was previously the Head of Investment Management at Investa and prior to that Fund Manager of the listed Investa Office Fund. Prior to joining Investa, Penny held a number of senior roles at Dexus including Fund Manager of the Dexus Wholesale Property Fund and Dexus’s Head of Capital where she was responsible for the creation and performance of Dexus’ third-party capital partnerships. Previously, Penny completed a 13-year stint at Lendlease including as Head of Equity with Lendlease Investment Management in London.
