WHO WE ARE

We’re serious about making a difference and creating positive change. Our investment and commitment to obtaining B-Corp accreditation means that we are only one of a few in the real estate sector. And that’s not the only area that sets us apart from others, we provide a range of added-value services that benefit our partners and communities:


  • We are a data-led organisation, with an in-house R&A team that uses data to inform our decisions and make recommendations.
  • We have a diverse and experienced commercial team; our people are our most important asset.
  • We offer bespoke strategic advice across investment, asset management, and development management sectors.

 

Our services work across multiple sectors including retail, F&B, leisure, residential, offices, healthcare, and public realm.

What we believe

We have a once in a generation opportunity to redefine our town centres

The community and political momentum behind transforming these spaces, as well as the current low cost of investment, means there has never been a better time. Our town centres are not just shops, they are common grounds, economy engines and powerful agents for social change. Now is the time to build into our high streets the amenity and infrastructure that will sustainably serve the future.

If a town centre works for its community, it will work for its investors

Investor and community interests do not belong at opposite ends of a spectrum. Where there is clear purpose and relevant amenity, footfall and spend are stronger. We believe the surest way to generate sustainable investment returns is to build a space around its identified community’s needs.

Our Values

Delivering Different Results

Data Driven Insight

Data sits behind all of our decision making. It helps us anticipate market trends and gain a detailed understanding of our retailers, shoppers and centres. It is the difference between assuming and truly understanding what a place should be.


Our Research & Analytics team have access to the widest range of data in our industry, including:

  • Our proprietary Real Shopper Survey - our annual survey of over 8,000 shoppers
  • Our collaboration with Visitor Insights (VI), the UK’s most in-depth footfall and mobile data tracking tool
  • Partnerships with leading research teams including CACI, GlobalData, FSP, Knight Frank and Savills


Progressive, Transparent Relationships with our Occupiers

Historic retail models and spaces have outlived their original purpose: so has an opaque, combative dialogue between landlords and occupiers. Our relationships help us reach workable solutions quickly and create sustainable occupation strategies for the long term.

  • We have over 1,970 occupiers across the UK, from independents and start-ups to national brands and public sector organisations
  • Our rent collection consistently tracked above industry averages throughout the pandemic
  • We are active contributors to industry debate for rate and leasing model reform


Focus on Results

We focus on delivering genuine change, for both the communities we champion and the investors we partner with whilst making sure that these priorities complement, not compete. The results create opportunities for small, local start-ups to flourish and new civic anchors in spaces left empty by department stores. Our solutions can vary in nature and scale but they are always grounded in what a community needs.
