• The management team at Development Securities has
an impressive record of major development
• projects demonstrating the following:
• extensive experience of substantial projects in city
centres and out of town locations
• a core ethos of developing a strong partnership with
occupiers resulting in pre-lets
• and optimising speculative developments
• a strong reputation of financing large-scale developments
• a first-class record of delivery to exacting quality
standards, within budget,
• and to demanding programmmes
• a willingness to enter into partnerships/joint ventures
with major landowners
• a proven ability in dealing with high profile and
sensitive sites
• an acknowledged expertise in the obtaining of optimal planning consents
Our track record to date includes a range of major development schemes, involving partnering with, variously, landowners, finds and occupiers. Examples include PaddingtonCentral, Cambourne Business Park, Cambridge, Globeside Business Park, Marlow and Frimley Square, Frimley.
Over the last 25 years, members of the team that now constitutes Development Securities have played crucial roles in some of the biggest and most successful developments in Britain.
What powers their progress is the belief that development is not about taking risks, rather it is about minimising risk.
Converting that belief into practice has taken a rare combination of skills a lot of hard work and a commitment that is second to none.
The results of that commitment can be seen across the the
country on prestigious sites all over London, in a new living and working
community in Cambridge and on a modern retail park near Chester.
These projects are a testament, not only to our expertise, but also to
the quality of the architects, construction companies, surveyors and specialists
who have worked with us.
Each building is hard evidence that we have the experience and skill to
shape evermore exciting and successful developments well into the new
century.
Because we deliver quality results, we inspire a special
trust. It is the kind of trust that persuades funding partners to support
our judgement and tenants to commit regularly to substantial pre-lets.
The depth of talent and the weight of experience in our management team
is unsurpassed. During their time in the development business every member
of our team has been at the forefront of many of the most challenging
and successful developments this country has seen.
Their record is what instills on our funding partners the
trust needed to commit large sums to
speculative developments.
Their expertise is what gives our tenants the confidence
to agree to extensive pre-lets on our
buildings.Our relationships are built on trust, supported by an enviable
track record. From funding
to letting, our team has the intelligence, knowledge and experience to
see the opportunity – and the courage to take it.
Development Securities is committed to environmentally responsible
development. It has in place
an Environmental Policy under which its stated aims are to reduce to a
minimum, through good management and sound working practices, the direct
and indirect environmental impacts of its
business activities.In this, the company also seeks the active co-operation
of the members of its
design and development teams.
The London Development Agency

the Greater London Authority,
the LDA is the regional development agency for the capital.
