Godwin Expands Network With New UK Office

UK property development investment firm Godwin Group has expanded its network with a new office in London.

The company, which has recently announced a number of new high profile appointments, has added the new outpost to its existing bases in Nottingham and Birmingham.

The new London office provides a new base of operations for both arms of the business, Godwin Developments and Godwin Capital.

Andrew Mitchell, group investment director of Godwin Group, said: "As a leading international financial centre, London is a key location for Godwin Capital to enhance its corporate profile, provide expansion opportunities and access to one of the world’s deepest pools of capital.

"The build-to-rent (BTR) sector continues to grow apace; operators are looking to take advantage of improved yields and a wider selection of sites across the UK as infrastructures improve and lower land prices make development lucrative.

"Many of the key players in this market are based out of head offices in London. Godwin Group's new London office is strategically located to provide this vital link, local contact and expertise for its regional businesses."

Stephen Pratt, group land director of Godwin Group, added: "Godwin Group has seen huge growth over the past months. Our new London office will allow us to accommodate further expansion plans and look to reach new markets in our key sectors.

"These are exciting times for Godwin Group and we are looking forward to expanding our network even further with the opening of our London office."

Godwin's recent successes include a proposed new BTR scheme of 201 apartments at The Landmark development in Derby, Godwin Capital's launch of innovative new investment products and the launch of the group’s BTR brand called Core Living – which plans to build up to 2,500 new homes over the next four years.
