Boutique real estate firm Maples Teesdale has promoted commercial real estate specialist Chris Xitsas to partner.

Xitsas, who joined Maples Teesdale as an associate in 2009 after training at DLA Piper, has experience across all aspects of investment, development, and asset management work, as well as strategic land advice.

He specialises in capital transactions and active management of office parks and retail assets, with a particular focus on the repositioning of town-centre shopping centres.

He also has experience in site assembly, collaboration, and land promotion agreements (acting for promoters and owners) and has knowledge of development projects acting for institutional investors, student accommodation developers, educational institutions and local authorities.

Tom Farrell and Zoe Miller, both in the real estate finance team, have been promoted to Of Counsel. Farrell joined Maples Teesdale in 2018 as a senior associate from Irwin Mitchell. Miller joined Maples Teesdale in 2019 as a senior associate from Dentons.

Maples Teesdale managing partner Chris Wilkinson commented: 'We are delighted to welcome Chris into the partnership. Following the recent promotion of Jo Preece to partner in our Construction team, this promotion enhances our partner-led service and commitment to our clients. The promotion of Tom and Zoe to Of Counsel reflects the talented team we have at Maples Teesdale and the strength and depth across the business.'
