Its specialist central London office fund, Welput, was formed in 2001 and is the largest unlisted specialist real estate fund to invest in and develop Central London offices.

The fund currently holds a portfolio of 9 assets, comprising over 1 million sq ft of accommodation, spread across Central London’s core sub-markets.

Alexander has previously worked at Tishman Speyer, Minerva PLC, ALM Associates as well as Gardiner & Theobald.

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

* How he got into real estate

* Early career moves

* Being the Central London Tower Expert

* Raising capital

* Complexities reimagining listed buildings

* Importance of mentorship

* ES + G

* Making the Sustainability Consultant the project lead

* BGO's Social Value Strategy

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