Landlord

We advise landlords, developers and investors on the development, letting and asset management of office assets, with a particular focus on commercially driven and development-led transactions.

Our work spans the full lifecycle of office investments, from site assembly and structuring through to pre-letting, leasing, refurbishment and ongoing asset management. We are regularly involved in complex and high-profile development schemes, including mixed-use and sustainability-led projects.

A key strength of our practice is the insight we bring from acting extensively for corporate occupiers. This enables us to advise landlords on structuring transactions and delivering assets in a way that aligns with occupier requirements, supports leasing strategy and maximises long-term value.

We combine technical excellence with a pragmatic, solution-oriented approach, helping our clients navigate competing objectives across development, leasing and investment considerations.

Key areas of expertise:

  • Development and development-led pre-letting
  • Asset management and portfolio optimisation
  • Complex lease structures and refurbishments
  • Mixed-use and large-scale office developments
  • Structuring arrangements, including forward funding and joint ventures
  • Positioning assets to meet changing occupier demand
