DENVER-Beverly Hills, CA-based Kennedy Wilson has opened a new office in Denver. Mike Pepper, recently hired as managing director of KW Properties Group, heads the new office, overseeing administration of the former Catlin/Bluemont Properties portfolio.

“We are pleased that Mike has joined our team and are excited about growing our services platform,” says Jim Rosten, president of KW Properties Group. “He brings an enormous skill set and valuable new relationships with him to Kennedy Wilson.”

The added presence in Denver expands the company’s real estate property management, brokerage and auction capabilities in the Rocky Mountain area. “I’m delighted to join Kennedy Wilson’s proven investment and services platform and bring the brand to Denver,” says Pepper.

Pepper brings over 28 years of commercial real estate experience to Kennedy Wilson. His past roles include investor, developer, lender, pension fund advisor, property and asset manager and broker for a variety of investment firms in Colorado and Southern California.

Just prior to joining Kennedy Wilson, Pepper headed the Denver office for Catlin Properties, handling leasing and management, acquisition and disposition, and property and asset management of the company’s approximately one-million-square-foot portfolio of office, medical, educational and specialty assets.

Pepper also formerly worked as head of the asset management group for Pacific Coast Capital Partners and vice president for AEW Capital Management.
