The Team

Moorfield believes that its historic and current investment results are directly related to the quality and diversity of the Company's professionals, and their broad real estate and financial contact base.  Moorfield has, over time, assembled an excellent team of experienced professionals with backgrounds in real estate (investment, development, asset management, planning, legal), fund management, corporate finance, private equity, finance, accountancy and marketing who are further supported by a team of administrative personnel.

Two of Moorfield’s three key investment professionals have been working together for over 20 years, and another has been working with them for over 13 years, the last 9 years as a director of Moorfield.
