CENTURIA Capital Group has appointed Nicole Green and Jennifer Cook as non-executive directors of the respective responsible entities of its listed flagship office and industrial trusts.
Centuria Property Funds Limited (CPFL) and Centuria Property Funds No. 2 Limited (CPF2L) will see Green and Cook respectively joining their boards, and Green will also join the CPFL audit, risk and compliance committee.
CPFL is the responsible entity of Centuria Office REIT and CPF2L is the responsible entity of Centuria Industrial REIT.
Garry Charny, Centuria Capital chairman the Green and Cook bring “substantial experience from varied backgrounds that we believe will benefit the shareholders of both REITs and add greatly to the intellectual property within the group”.
“Not only is the entrenchment of independent boards in CPFL and CPF2L a priority but the appointments are consistent with our commitment to a diversified and relevant group.
“The appointments are also reflective of the substantial growth of Centuria’s A-REITs and unlisted funds, particularly across industrial, healthcare and decentralised office markets.”
Green has a legal background and is currently Minter Ellison’s infrastructure industry leader and a partner in its projects, infrastructure and construction division, and focuses on both high-profile infrastructure developments and large-scale commercial, industrial and residential developments, including urban renewal.
She was previously MinterEllison’s Sydney office managing partner and former national lead of its government practice, and is a board member for Infrastructure Partnerships Australia and chairs the University of New South Wales Law Advisory Council.
Cook is currently managing director of commercial property consultancy, Customer 360, with broad experience across customer strategies and brand transformation. Previous real estate roles include AMP Capital Real Estate’s retail head of customer experience, Urban Development Institute of Australia Queensland’s director of brand and innovation, and AECOM’s Associate Director of Brand Strategy.
