Centennial’s growing asset portfolio drives new senior team hires
As the value of Centennial’s property assets under management and development heads towards $3bn, the leading investment manager and developer has announced two senior appointments to its growing asset management and leasing team.
Elena Seymour joins Centennial as Head of Asset Management to lead the asset management team across New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia.
Ms Seymour has over 16 years’ experience working in the institutional real estate space. For the past ten years she was heavily focused on leading the industrial and logistics asset management as Regional Portfolio Manager for Queensland, at Charter Hall Group where she contributed to significant growth through leasing and supporting the development pipelines, resulting in a portfolio of 95 assets and $4bn funds under management.
A strong advocate for the national industrial and logistics sector, Ms Seymour was an active member of the Property Council’s Queensland Industrial Committee with a major focus on improving town planning outcomes and infrastructure pipelines. She also held the role of chair of the Council’s Queensland Industrial division between 2019 to 2021.
Also joining Centennial is Amanda Swan, who moves into the role of Asset & Leasing Manager NSW. Ms Swan previously led the Western Australia industrial and national agriculture portfolios for Centuria Capital, including managing Perth Airport’s portfolio of industrial and office leases for over five years.
At Centennial, Ms Swan will focus on the performance of the company’s assets in New South Wales, including driving the leasing activities across the group’s industrial & logistics and commercial plus assets.
Centennial currently manages 87 properties worth over $2.6bn across Australia with a further $1bn of developments in the pipeline. Managing Director and Group CEO, Adrian Taylor said, “Elena and Amanda’s broad ranging skills across sectors further strengthens Centennial’s asset management and leasing capabilities.”
“I am very proud of our team that now numbers 45 industry professionals in four states,” Mr Taylor said. “As a fully integrated property investment and development business, our growth is based on the exceptional knowledge and service our team consistently delivers to our customers.”
