Alex Horn

Alex Horn has worked in the property industry for over a decade, building a track record in property investment and development with a focus on originating, structuring and executing transactions that deliver real commercial returns. Having built his career through periods of economic volatility, Alex has developed a reputation for clear judgement, resourcefulness and the ability to create value in challenging market conditions.

Experience spans a broad range of asset types, including strategic land, planning-led projects, income-producing assets and redevelopment opportunities. This extends across the full investment lifecycle, from identifying opportunities and shaping strategy through planning, repositioning and asset management, to delivering outcomes through structured exits.

This track record led to the creation of Layer Eight Investments. The business was established to apply a focused, execution-led approach, combining disciplined strategy with hands-on asset management and a clear emphasis on delivering realised value.

Alongside direct investment, Layer Eight provides strategic advisory support to property owners and businesses dealing with complex or constrained assets. This work is informed by the team's experience as active investors, allowing advice to be grounded in what is deliverable in practice rather than theoretical outcomes.
