THE FACILITY

Funding built around delivery.

We provide development capital for experienced property professionals with a defined scheme, credible delivery plan and clear commercial rationale.

The site, planning position, development team, budget and proposed exit are considered together. This lets us shape a facility around the project rather than forcing the project into a standard product.

WHERE IT FITS

Capital for clearly defined property opportunities.

Ground-up

New-build residential and mixed-use schemes with a credible delivery strategy.

02

Conversion

Change-of-use and conversion opportunities supported by a defined project plan.

03

Refurbishment

Substantial works that reposition or materially improve an existing property.

04

Completion

Capital to support an established scheme through its remaining delivery stages.
