First female chair for ULI Ireland

IPUT Real Estate’s head of research, Marie Hunt, has been appointed as the first female chair of the Urban Land Institute in Ireland. Hunt has been a member of the ULI Ireland National Council since 2015 and will succeed Kevin Nowlan following the completion of his two-year term. Prior to IPUT, Hunt led CBRE’s research and consulting function in Ireland for more than 27 years.  ULI Europe chief executive Lisette van Doorn said: “She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge of the real estate industry in Ireland and Europe. We look forward to working with Marie and the ULI Ireland National Council in furthering the mission of ULI in Ireland over the next two years.” Hunt said: “It is an honour to have been appointed as the chairperson of the Urban Land Institute in Ireland for the next two years and, in particular, to be ULI Ireland’s first female chairperson. ULI’s mission – to shape the future of the built environment so that it has meaningful and transformative impact in communities and urban spaces – is perfectly aligned with my role at IPUT.” To send feedback, e-mail piers.wehner@eg.co.uk or tweet @PiersWehner or @EGPropertyNews
