UK: Nido Living has appointed Taco van Heusden as chief investment and development officer.
He joined the company in January 2024 as interim chief transition officer. Before that, he held numerous roles across real estate, finance and hospitality, including chief investment officer at Aldau Development, real estate principal at Urbanist Group and managing director of real estate at Hanson Asset Management.
Carlo Matta, CEO of Nido Living, said: “I am very pleased that Taco decided to join us for the long term, he has a proven track record of delivering transformative results, and he has already played a critical role in helping establish Nido Living as a fully integrated student accommodation platform. With his deep understanding of our business, ambitious strategy, and vision, Taco is ideally placed to lead our investment and development initiatives as we expand into new markets.”
Van Heusden added: “Nido Living’s ambition, vision, and values have been inspiring throughout this transformation, and it’s rewarding to already yield results. I look forward to furthering Nido Living’s growth, drawing on my knowledge of the business and my experience to advance our expansion, forge new partnerships and deals, and deliver the next generation of quality and experiential student accommodation.”
In April this year, Nido Living was sold by Round Hill Capital to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments).
