In this role, he will drive Stoneweg's expansion and lead transaction efforts in the Dutch market, focusing on logistics, industrial, and office properties.

Van den Boomen brings over 13 years of experience in real estate investment and asset management in the Netherlands and other European markets.

Since joining the platform in 2013 at Valad Europe, which is now part of Stoneweg following the Cromwell acquisition in 2024, he has held a series of senior roles across asset management, investment management and pan-European transactions.

Most recently, as transaction manager, Europe, Van den Boomen was responsible for sourcing and managing acquisitions and disposals across office and logistics portfolios throughout Europe and the UK. Within this role, he has been involved in more than €1.5 bn of transactions. Before this, as investment manager, Benelux, he acquired approximately €2 bn of office and industrial assets in the Netherlands and played a key role in the launch of Cromwell’s Singapore-listed REIT, CEREIT, which is now known as Stoneweg European REIT (SERT).

He will collaborate with Stoneweg's Dutch team to grow their current €800 mln AUM portfolio in the Netherlands.

Mark McLaughlin, CEO, Real Assets at Stoneweg, said: “This appointment reflects the depth of talent within our platform and our continued commitment to growing our presence in the Netherlands. Geert’s extensive transactional expertise and deep local market knowledge have enabled him to build a strong track record of executing on complex pan-European transactions over many years, which will be vital as we continue to expand our activities and assets under management in the Netherlands.”

Geert van den Boomen added: “Having been part of the platform for more than a decade, I look forward to continuing to work closely with our clients, partners and colleagues in this new role to grow our Dutch portfolio and capitalise on the attractive opportunities we see across the Netherlands.”
