Baytree Logistics Properties ("Baytree"), the pan-European logistics and industrial development platform launched by AXA IM - Real Assets in 2015, announces the appointment of Philippe Rougé as Head of France. Based in Paris, he reports directly to Rabih Modad, Managing Director of Baytree. The appointment follows the retirement of François de La Rochefoucauld who had led Baytree in France since 2015.

Philippe has over 30 years’ experience working in senior roles in the real estate sector, including in construction, development and asset management. He joins Baytree from Quartus, a leading contractor and developer in the logistics space, where he was responsible for securing land opportunities and constructing buildings for developers and owner-occupiers.  Prior to Quartus, Philippe worked for GSE and DTZ Asset Management.

Philippe will be responsible for securing new opportunities in France and leading the delivery of Baytree’s secured development portfolio in this market of over 500,000 sqm of logistics space.

Rabih Modad, Managing Director of Baytree Logistics Properties, commented: “Philippe’s experience and track record in the French logistics space will enable us to continue to grow our development portfolio, while progressing the execution of our secured projects in prime locations across France. We welcome Philippe to the Baytree team and look forward to working with him to accelerate the growth of our French business.”
