Additionally, Simon Swietochowski, development director at BNP Paribas Asset Management Alts, has been named as vice-chair.
They will each serve a two-year-term guiding CPA’s role in representing the property industry in the City.
During her tenure, Dibley will focus on delivering the objectives of Destination City, the organisation’s economic growth and culture strategy.
She takes over from Ross Sayers, head of development management at Landsec, and brings nearly two decades of experience in the property industry.
Dibley joined Helical in 2007 and has worked on schemes across the City and its surrounding markets, including Barts Square, The Bower, Kaleidoscope and The JJ Mack Building. She is currently co-leading the delivery of 10 King William Street, Brettenham House and 100 New Bridge Street, the London HQ for State Street Corporation.
Charles Begley, chief executive of the CPA, said: “On behalf of CPA members, I would like to congratulate Nikki on becoming chair of the CPA. Her experience and insight will be invaluable as we continue to work closely with the City of London Corporation to shape the future of the Square Mile.
“I would also like to recognise the significant impact Ross made during his tenure as we have made the case for continued investment in the Square Mile and supporting the City Corporation through the public examination of its new City Plan, which will determine future development over the next decade and beyond.”
Dibley added: “It’s a real privilege to become chair of the CPA and to represent our members as we help shape the next chapter of the Square Mile. The City of London is a vital engine of both London’s and the UK’s economy, and its future success depends on maintaining a strong pipeline of high‑quality, commercially viable office space that attracts leading businesses and drives productivity and growth.
“Against a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty, the City’s strong fundamentals and long‑standing stability continue to make it a trusted home for international investment, a reminder of its resilience but also of the responsibility we have to ensure it continues to lead on the global stage.”
