CBRE has appointed Paul Bassi to its London City Capital Markets team. Paul joins the firm from Savills, where he was a Director and spent a decade in the central London investment team focusing on the City.
In 2024, Paul successfully completed transactions exceeding £200 million, including notable deals such as the acquisition of The Ivy on West Street, on behalf of Habro, 15-23 Lincoln’s Inn Fields, for Dorrington, and the sale of 1 Bow Churchyard, where he represented Aviva.
The Central London office market demonstrated its resilience in 2024, with a notable increase in activity during the final quarter and a number of larger transactions completing in Q1 2025 such as 2 Finsbury Avenue, as investor confidence improves.
“I am pleased to be joining such a high performing team at CBRE and bringing my knowledge of the market to new and existing clients. The office market has faced a lot of scrutiny in recent years, but with investment volumes on the rise and investor confidence returning, it’s a great time to be working with investors to find the right opportunities to put their capital towards.” Commented Paul Bassi, Director
“Paul’s appointment underscores the increased market activity and our dedication to providing an unparalleled service to our clients. Paul’s track record during a period of low investment volumes speaks for itself, and we are excited to have him on board.” Said Rob Jackson, Head of London City Investment Properties
