Development


We’re with you at every stage of your projects’ lifecycle.

Our approach has led to successful projects across England and Wales in healthcare, education, energy, sport and social housing.

Through innovative funding structures, joint ventures and collaboration with strategic partners, we’ve facilitated the delivery of significant development projects – from complex infrastructure to regeneration.

We oversee all aspects of real estate development including acquisition, planning and environmental advice, funding, construction and leasing.

We work on all development projects, from the early stages of strategy and business case development, through to successful completion and beyond.

We’ve helped our clients deliver everything from green and brownfield schemes to town centre regeneration and campus buildings. We often work in partnership with our construction and property litigation colleagues, who can support you to resolve disputes through various methods.

  • We’ve worked with the Capital team across their business over the years and have always found the service standards to be excellent.

    Recently, we’ve been working with the development team who have provided strategic advice, connected to our entire portfolio with consideration to forward funding models for our new build development at Hanningfiled Park in Cheltenham – the advice received was invaluable and resulted in a shift in our business strategy.

    The added value you get from this team is driven from their ability to horizon scan in the right places and being bold in their approach to working with clients. We look forward to continue our growth plans with Capital as out trusteed partner.
