Camber Real Estate Partners has bolstered its in-house acquisitions team with the addition of Kevin Interlicchio and Connor Lipka.
The firm, which acquires, develops and operates light industrial properties, said Interlicchio will serve as director of acquisitions and be responsible for shaping its acquisition strategy through the sourcing of new investment opportunities. He comes to the role with extensive background in industrial real estate and having handled transactions valued at more than $5.5 billion, Camber said, describing him as a key addition to its leadership team.
Interlicchio joins the Montclair-based firm after most recently serving as a vice president at PGIM Real Estate, where he played an instrumental role in executing industrial deals spanning more than 42.7 million square feet. His experience also includes time at Norges Bank Investment Management, where he contributed to the industrial portfolio expansion.
“We are thrilled to welcome Kevin to our firm where he will be a key driver of our strategic-acquisition plans,” said Christopher M. Bellapianta, Camber’s managing principal. “His vast experience and deep understanding of industrial real estate will strengthen our ability to identify and execute value-add investments that align with our core objectives. We are confident that Kevin’s leadership will be instrumental as we continue expanding our portfolio throughout the East Coast.”
Interlicchio holds a bachelor’s from Johns Hopkins University, where he was a member of the men’s lacrosse team, and a master’s in real estate from Fordham University.
“Kevin’s track record and strategic insight are key assets that will accelerate our growth in our target markets,” said Dave C. Surti, a Camber principal. “His ability to navigate complex deals and maximize value for our investors aligns perfectly with our mission.”
He joins the firm alongside Lipka, an acquisition analyst, who will spearhead the research and analysis of industrial property trends and projections, according to a news release. Lipka will focus on markets spanning the eastern seaboard where Camber will expand its portfolio holdings.
A graduate of Villanova University with a bachelor’s in business administration, Lipka is a product of the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Financial Development Analyst Program.
