Commercial Developers

Commercial Developers

Our Team has an impressive track record of advising on developments of all shapes and sizes, complexity and classes.

We have deep knowledge of the sector, which helps us to provide our clients with a service that’s efficient, pragmatic and, of course, informed.

We guide our clients through the entire life cycle of a project, from structuring and funding, to strategic land issues, planning and managing construction, and project completion. But above all, we focus on finding commercial solutions to solve our clients’ concerns.

We know that the current climate can be tough for commercial developers who are facing a new and evolving set of challenges, but we can help. We advise on areas like sustainability, Net Zero, carbon, wider ESG objectives, the use of tech and data, as well as regulatory requirements. We have particular experience in the high growth sectors of BTR/PRS, student accommodation and logistics.

We work in partnership with our clients, taking the time to really get to know their business and the people we’re working with. We’ll always try to add value and our aim is for you to view us as an extension of your team. We’re proud of the enduring relationships we’ve built with our clients, and this is testament to not just our expertise but the value we place on people as well.

The projects we advise on are often high profile and all our work benefits from our Partner led approach. Whatever the nature of your project, you’ll always receive the best possible advice, from a team who care passionately about the outcome.

We work collaboratively, bringing in different specialists from around the firm when we need additional expertise: we’re a tight knit group all working from our base in Leeds. This means you’ll benefit from our access to a fantastic pool of knowledge and talent, and we can quickly put our heads together to find the answers you need.
