Speculative development is still rare outside of London, but our strong track record of delivering in Oxford and Cambridge helps de-risk your approach and attract international investors.

We get into the nuts and bolts of funding development, putting together joint ventures or funding deals with an upside mechanism to secure profit and offset risk. We regularly work with investors from more than 10 countries around the globe.

We help match your ideas, ambition and target returns with investment to suit your strategy and financial model, introducing only funds with the appropriate investment profile.

Investors and developers also rely on our detailed market research to fully understand local rents, occupier demands and stock supply levels - insight they need to finalise their development programme and structure deals appropriately.

Our development expertise allows us to fully understand your project before only selecting and approaching investors with the right level of appetite for your development risk
