Invest in commercial property to target income returns and capital growth from an asset-backed investment class which is relatively uncorrelated with traditional equity and bond markets.
Why invest in Commercial Property?
Commercial property offers attractive income streams and potential capital appreciation. By investing in a diversified range of UK assets — including hotels, logistics hubs, offices, retail, and forward-funded developments — investors benefit from stable rental income, inflation-linked growth, and exposure to high-quality tenants. Access to these opportunities is typically limited for individual investors, making this a compelling alternative asset class.
Our Commercial Property Investment strategy
We source property assets that can produce long-term income returns. Then we focus on ways to add value to accelerate capital growth, for example by upgrading or expanding the premises and driving rental growth.
In addition, we are able to take an opportunistic approach to acquire and turnaround distressed assets or where there is potential to restructure or reposition an asset.
In some cases, we also ‘forward fund’ the development process. A developer agrees to provide a site with planning consent and to build the property, with signed agreements for leases with tenants in place, while our clients provide the capital to acquire land and fund construction works at a guaranteed maximum price.
Commercial Property Investment criteria
When selecting assets, we prioritise:
- Strong tenant covenants and long leases
- High-quality locations with growth potential
- Diversification across asset types
- Opportunities for active value creation through refurbishment or revelopment

Types of Commercial Property Investments
We focus on assets with a purchase value of up to £40m UK wide, from hotels to strategically located logistics hubs, commercial premises in up-and-coming areas or offices in prime urban hotspots. Assets generally have strong tenant covenants and long leases for secure income, as well as the potential for capital growth.
Hotels and leisure
Investment in hotel and leisure properties targets stable rental income and the potential for asset appreciation. We focus on forward-funded developments and pre-let opportunities with recognised hotel operators.
Logistics and industrial
Logistics and industrial assets are selected for long-term rental security and growth potential, targeting high-demand locations across the UK.
Office and mixed-use
Office and mixed-use properties are selected to provide diversified income streams, with an emphasis on prime locations and long-term leases.
Forward-funded developments
Forward-funded developments involve pre-letting assets to secure rental income before construction is completed, mitigating risk while providing growth potential.
