BECKFORD MEWS
COWES - IOW
Beckford Mews was D'Alembert Development's first project as development manager which consisted of converting two derelict buildings into two 1-bedroom apartments and a 2 bedroom cottage. The project was in the idyllic sailing town of Cowes in the Isle of Wight, famous for its annual regatta. These made perfect investment properties due to the premiums paid during the high season.
LANCASTER MEWS
LONDON W2
Lancaster Mews was D'Alembert Development's first project in London, working with a pool of investors from Hong Kong, we were acting as development manager. We identified a brief and set out to acquire this vacant office building just north of Hyde Park. We gained substantial value through clever use of the permitted development rights in Westminster; gaining planning permission for a basement level and further permission to sub-divide the space into two smaller Mews Houses.
GOLDEN HILL FORT
FRESHWATER
When we discovered Golden Hill Fort (c.1863) was being disposed of by receivers, we did not hesitate in contacting one of our most active investors to ensure we could secure the property; managing the acquisition through to completion. Even though the asset was given a break-up value of £4.2m, we completed the purchase at £2.68m, reflecting a 36% discount to market value. This resulted in it being a runner up for Deal of the Year at the RESI Awards 2019.
MEADOW MILL
STOCKPORT
When we discovered Meadow Mill we had to commit everything we could to help manage the acquisition for a pool of investors based in the Middle East. The project was being sold by a London based developer with planning permission to convert into 214 luxury apartments and 26,000ft2 of retail. Knowing this specific investor was focusing strongly in the Manchester area, we made every effort to agree the sale ‘off market’ which ended up in a 6-month negotiation. The scheme finally completed in Q3 2018 at £6.5m, a 19% discount to the guide price.
SPENCER PARK
BINSTEAD
Spencer Park is our most recent project, D'Alembert Developments managed the acquisition, due to vendors expectations this required a complex corporate structure which took some time to finalise. D’Alembert also managed the funding and is a stakeholder in the scheme which has planning for 30 units; 26 houses and 4 flats. We are currently looking to go in for detailed planning for the second phase and gain a further 3 units.
