DEXUS Property Group opens west coast US office and expands US management team

DEXUS today announced the opening of a new US management office in Newport Beach, California and the expansion of the US management team.

DEXUS’s US management team, led by Jane Lloyd, has been expanded with the appointment of Bruce McDonald - Managing Director, Asset Management & Development and Bryan Bentrott - Managing Director, Acquisitions & Leasing, along with a team of six executives with expertise in property management, finance and operations. This team previously ran Master Development Corporation, an established Southern Californian real estate management company.

Victor Hoog Antink, DEXUS Chief Executive Officer, commented: “These appointments bring to DEXUS extensive US industrial real estate management, leasing and development expertise, together with established relationships with capital partners, particularly in our preferred west coast markets.”

Paul Say, Head of Corporate Development & International, said “The expansion of the team supports the progressive internalisation of the management of our west coast and Whirlpool properties. DEXUS will internalise management of the Whirlpool properties by 1 July 2010 and the balance of the west coast properties by 1 January 2011. RREEF will continue to provide asset management services for the balance of our portfolio, while we complete its repositioning and reinvestment into our preferred west coast markets. CBRE will continue to provide property management services.”

DEXUS’s US team of 12 personnel will be further expanded during the coming year. The team will operate out of a new DEXUS office in Newport Beach, California, centrally located in our core markets of Los Angeles/Riverside and the Inland Empire.

Biographies of the US senior management team are attached.
