Maximising Value and Returns Across the UK
While prime central London remains at the heart of global property investment, savvy investors are increasingly diversifying their portfolios by exploring opportunities across regional UK cities. We specialise in identifying and unlocking the untapped potential of these high-growth areas, delivering tailored strategies for wealth preservation and value creation.
From thriving commercial hubs to value-add redevelopment projects, our expertise spans the UK’s most promising investment markets.
Prime London Projects – A Foundation for Success
London remains a cornerstone of Curzon Land’s success, with a proven track record of acquiring and transforming high-value assets in the capital:
- 110 Park Street, Mayfair: A 27,000 sqft multi-let modern office building.
- Grosvenor Place, Belgravia: A 55,000 sqft listed office redevelopment adjacent to the Peninsula Hotel, converted into a high-class club space through strategic planning and partnerships.
- Ensign House, Battersea Reach: Merging two apartments into a bespoke 5-bedroom luxury unit with panoramic Thames views.
- Mansion on Hyde Park: Managing every aspect of a 65,000 sqft property transformation, from asset strategy to development financing and planning permission.
These projects showcase our ability to deliver exceptional results in London’s competitive property market. However, we also recognise the opportunities for investors beyond the capital.
