Creating long-term value through collaboration, strategy, and place-making.

From Brownfield to Landmark

Our projects start where others might walk away — underused sites, planning constraints, layered ownership. Through thoughtful masterplanning, expert navigation of policy, and a sharp focus on long-term value, we transform overlooked land into thriving, multi-dimensional places.

Built on Partnership

We work hand-in-hand with landowners, institutional investors, and local authorities to deliver commercially and socially successful outcomes. Whether through joint ventures, subject-to-planning acquisitions, or unconditional purchases, our flexible approach ensures aligned incentives and delivery certainty.

Acquisition Strategy

At Cresswick, we take a flexible and strategic approach to land acquisition, tailored to unlock value in complex urban sites. Our acquisition models include:

Subject to Planning

We commonly acquire sites on a subject-to-planning basis, working closely with landowners and local authorities to secure implementable consents that enhance value while aligning with local needs and policy.

Unconditional Purchases

Where appropriate, we acquire sites unconditionally, allowing vendors the certainty of a clean exit while we assume the planning and development risk. Our internal planning and financial expertise ensures rapid appraisal and decision-making.

Joint Ventures

We actively seek joint venture opportunities with landowners, institutional funds, and development partners. These structures enable aligned interests and shared upside, particularly on large or phased developments where long-term stewardship is key.

Our acquisition strategy is underpinned by rigorous financial modelling, in-house planning expertise, and a deep understanding of London’s evolving policy landscape. Whether assembling brownfield plots or reimagining underused sites, we aim to deliver commercially robust, socially valuable developments.
