Alexandra Thur, Founder

Alexandra founded Tollington Group in 2021, identifying the ongoing needs of developers to access more institutional-level capital and professional investors to allocate capital to quality real estate projects and financing opportunities.

Prior to Tollington Group, Alexandra was the youngest founding team member of two publicly traded Blackstone Group portfolio companies, Invitation Homes and B2R Finance. As one of the first 20 employees of Invitation Homes, America’s largest single-family rental owner operator, Alexandra was closely involved in the operations and strategy behind the acquisition, renovation, leasing and management of over 80,000 single-family homes across 17 US markets. She subsequently became a founding team member of of Blackstone’s B2R Finance, a private lender that harnessed a multi-billion dollar market gap in residential real estate investor financing.

Following Blackstone, Alexandra became the Investment Director of a specialist ground rent investment firm, focusing on the responsible acquisition of freeholds and selling the inflation-hedged, long-dated income to pension funds. She then served as the Director of Investor Relations for Titanbay, enabling family offices and HNWIs to allocate to otherwise inaccessible private equity funds across growth equity, venture capital, credit, distressed and buyout strategies.

Alexandra holds a MPhil from the University of Cambridge and a BSc from University College London.
