Greg Ball

Pitalia Real Estate has appointed Greg Ball from Urban Splash as its new Development and Investment Director.

Regeneration specialist Ball joins former JLL North West chairman, David Lathwood, at the fast growing development and investment vehicle.  

During his time at Urban Splash, where he was a Senior Development Manager, Ball oversaw the on-going development of its iconic Park Hill scheme in Sheffield, Europe’s largest listed building.

He joined Urban Splash following stints at some of the North West’s largest regeneration projects, including for U&I at its £1.4bn Mayfield development, and for Muse its Cheadle Royal and Stockport Exchange schemes.

It was early on in Ball’s career at King Sturge and JLL in Manchester where his working relationship with David Lathwood was formed.

Lathwood, CEO at Pitalia Real Estate, launched the vehicle in March 2021 with the backing of entrepreneur, Anil Pitalia.

Commenting on Ball’s appointment, Lathwood, said: “I’m really excited about teaming up with Greg again. He brings an enormous pedigree of working on large and complex regeneration schemes, and this aligns perfectly with our vision of acquiring and developing assets that we can add value to and make best-in-class.”

Ball added: “David and Anil’s long-term plans for Pitalia Real Estate are exciting and right now the market is presenting lots of opportunities for those able to move quickly and deliver transformative residential and commercial schemes.  The ability to work with a small but highly experienced and specialist team, with significant backing and the autonomy to be entrepreneurial is really appealing and I look forward to help grow the business.”
