Since launching, the business has expanded rapidly, building a diverse portfolio of projects across the UK encompassing mixed-use, residential, retail warehousing, and more, often also combining leading tenants within the schemes.

* Partnering with internal teams to ensure timely and successful fundraising.
* Representing the firm’s entrepreneurial values and ethical standards at every stage of the investor journey.
