LONDON, January 19, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Cleveland-based specialist real estate private equity firm Berkeley Capital has announced that, effective immediately, Marcelo Dellavedova and Robert Cohen will be joining the firm as co-Managing Director and Principal, respectively. Dellavedova and Cohen will join Berkeley's Investment Committee, and Dellavedova along with the current senior management team will co-lead the firm's investment strategy, deal structuring, business development, and client management.

Michael Wager, co-Managing Director, said, "We are proud and excited to make this announcement. Welcoming Marcelo and Robert formally on-board will strengthen the depth and breadth of our senior team. It will also further advance Berkeley's strategic focus of sourcing, curating, and structuring highly sought-after real estate assets to the benefit of international investors.
Adnan Zai, Advisor of Strategic Partnerships, commented, "This marks a significant milestone for Berkeley Capital's mission. Since our founding, we have had a simple and clear objective, which Robert and Marcelo embraced, supported, and advocated from the onset. We have collaborated closely, bringing Berkeley to its current stage and look forward to many more successes ahead."
