Hillwood Investment Properties has appointed Justin Drysdale as executive vice president and regional leader for its Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest markets.
Based in the firm’s New Jersey office, Drysdale will oversee all aspects of development and investment while leading the established team within its north region. He comes to the post with more than two decades of experience in real estate development and investment, including leadership positions at Brookfield Asset Management, Industrial Developments International Realty and Prologis Inc., as Hillwood looks to continue its growth in regions such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New England, the Mid-Atlantic and the greater Midwest.
“We are thrilled to welcome Justin Drysdale to the Hillwood team,” said Tal Hicks, president of the Dallas-based firm. “His industry relationships and forward-thinking approach make him an excellent fit for our company. We are confident that Justin will propel our north region to new achievements.”
In a news release, Hillwood said Drysdale will work closely with existing leadership to leverage accomplishments and cultivate new business opportunities. His arrival follows the firm’s recent groundbreaking for a 179,800-square-foot distribution center in Bordentown, its first in New Jersey under a newly opened office in the region.
The company’s New Jersey team is based in the Short Hills section of Millburn.
“I am honored to join Hillwood Investment Properties and lead the north region,” Drysdale said. “Hillwood’s dedication to excellence and community impact is truly inspiring, and I am eager to contribute to the company’s vision and success in this dynamic region.”
