\u201cReal estate is the largest asset class globally and is ripe for innovation and advancements, specifically by taking a data driven and technology-enabled approach to both investing and asset management,\u201d Hill said in a prepared statement. \u201cTwo Sigma was founded 20 years ago with the belief that the integration of technology and data science brought immense potential to investment management.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two Sigma Real Estate reportedly will take \u201ca human-led, machine-supported approach to investing in private real estate assets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Post-pandemic opportunities<\/h2>\n

Gomel told Commercial Property Executive<\/em>: \u201cWe will have a flexible mandate allowing us to focus on multiple asset classes in North America. We have spent significant time evaluating trends coming out of the pandemic and will pursue opportunities supported by our research.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gomel has more than 20 years of commercial real estate experience, having most recently served as managing partner of WeWork\u2019s real estate investment platform. Prior to that, he served as partner and senior investment officer at Junius Real Estate Partners, a specialized real estate investment unit of JPMorgan Asset Management.<\/p>\n

Before that, Gomel was a managing director at Starwood Capital Group, during which he also served as CEO of Groupe du Louvre, an owner and operator of more than 1,000 hotels around the world and across all market segments. He also held various senior positions at Starwood Hotels & Resorts.<\/p>\n

Gomel has a B.A. from Cornell University and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
