Highgate has announced the appointment of Nikos Konstantinidis as senior vice president of acquisitions for Europe. Based in London, Konstantinidis will focus on hospitality investment opportunities and drive strategic growth across the region.
“Nikos’ extensive experience across European markets, proven investment acumen and entrepreneurial mindset make him an outstanding addition to Highgate’s leadership team and its growing European investment platform,” said Zach Berger, principal, Highgate. “His ability to source and execute complex transactions across multiple jurisdictions aligns with our European growth strategy, and we are thrilled to welcome him to the firm.”
Konstantinidis brings more than 12 years of investment experience across multiple asset classes. Prior to joining Highgate, he served as director of acquisitions and business development at L+R Hotels, where he originated, asset-managed and executed investments across various European markets.
Earlier in his career, he worked with AXA Real Estate, underwriting and executing pan-European value-add transactions across office, hospitality and real estate operating businesses. Over his years in the industry, he has been involved in numerous transactions and projects across the UK, Spain, Greece, Italy, the Nordics, France, Germany, Poland, Croatia and Malta.
“Stepping into the role with Highgate at this pivotal moment of global growth is both an honor and an opportunity,” Konstantinidis said. “With its reputation for excellence and leadership team of unmatched caliber, Highgate is ideally positioned to further capture opportunities in dynamic markets and deliver lasting value. I look forward to advancing its presence and success across Europe.”
Konstantinidis’ appointment follows Highgate’s recent acquisitions of the 259-room ReMIX Hotel in Paris, marking the company’s return to the city, and the 194-room Hilton Porto Gaia in Portugal. Collectively, these moves signal a sharpened focus on expanding Highgate’s investment platform and presence across Europe.
