Octopus Real Estate, part of Octopus Investments and a leading specialist real estate investor and lender, today announces the appointment of Daniel Hormaechea as Investment Manager, further expanding its team in Madrid, Spain.
Daniel joins from pHYnix, where he was Head of Financial Modelling. He previously held roles at Kennedy Wilson, where he was responsible for acquiring real estate assets in Spain, and as a property and corporate investment analyst at NEINVER.
Daniel will work with the Octopus Real Estate teams in both London and Madrid as the company focuses on delivering its various investment strategies to the Spanish market.
Daniel’s appointment follows the news announced late last year of Cristina Pérez Liz joining Octopus Real Estate as Head of Spain, whom he will now report to.
Cristina Pérez Liz, Head of Spain, Octopus Real Estate, commented:
“I am very happy to announce that we have a new joiner in our fast-growing Spanish team. Daniel brings over a decade of experience in financial modelling and investments in both renewable energy and real estate, and is already working hard to build relationships with potential partners here in Spain.”
Octopus Real Estate is principally focused on the living and healthcare sectors and aims to expand all its existing strategies into Spain, and across Europe, over the coming years, including retirement living, elderly care homes, affordable housing, and real estate debt.
The two key hires follow the launch of Octopus Investments Spain in September 2024.
