Real Estate Development

Competition for sites, access to funding, changing legislation, achieving planning consent, rights to light issues and community infrastructure levy are just a few of the challenges facing developers in today’s real estate market.

Whether your development is mixed use, commercial, residential or an urban regeneration project, our team of real estate specialists can help you navigate the entire development cycle from site acquisition right through to lettings and disposal.

Our real estate group includes experts in real estate finance, planning, disputes, construction and tax, allowing us to provide developer clients with specialist advice at each stage of the development process.

Working together with clients including Land Securities, Berkeley Group, Crest, Taylor Wimpey, Sainsbury’s, Imperial College London and Battersea Power Station, we are involved in some of the most significant urban regeneration, residential, retail, leisure, office, hotel, PRS, student accommodation and mixed use development projects on going across the UK at the moment.
