International real estate advisor Savills has appointed Philipe Fischer as a director in its German investment team.

Fischer comes from BNP Paribas Real Estate (BNPPRE), where he has been Director of National Investment since 2012.  Prior to that he spent three years at Jones Lang LaSalle as a national director and, between 2006 and 2008, he was Managing Director of Catella Property Group in Germany. Occupying a new role within the company, he will provide overarching support to the investment teams in all six German offices. Marcus Lemli, CEO Germany & Head of Investment Savills Europe, comments: “Through the recruitment of Philipe Fischer we have gained an extremely experienced professional in this market and of whom I am confident will support the growth of our German investment business.”

Philipe Fischer, Director, Savills Germany Investment team, adds:  “With several sizable transactions in Germany already in the pipeline, the outlook for investment activity this year is set to be strong. Not only will I be focussing on the domestic market but with about half of all transactions in Germany attributed to cross border activity last year, I also look forward  to working with Savills wider global network to best advise our international clients on investing in Germany.”
