Development management
Every land, or property asset presents unique opportunities and challenges to realise its maximum potential and return. We understand each moving part within a complex landscape and have bespoke knowledge across several elements; technical due diligence, market liability, financial modelling, legal, planning, and construction allowing clients get the best return.
We take care of every element seamlessly, and help clients navigate the complex journey from start to finish, which is crucial to achieving maximum value.
- Well-rounded expertise: We have an in-depth understanding of the full lifecycle from pre-acquisition through to planning, construction, operation, disposal and leveraging our integrated technical services.
- End-to-end support: We have thorough market understanding, experience and technical services to guide clients through the complex journey from beginning to end, providing professional advice that strategically aligns with their objectives.
- National and European coverage: Working across the UK and in key locations in Europe, we utilise support in local markets, where we have knowledge of the micro property ecosystem from planning departments, agents and consultants to assisting in underwriting or delivering developments to a wide range of geographies and sectors.
- Wide Client base: In addition to the benefits of sourcing local insight from consultants and agents with our range of services, we have wide links with funders, lawyers, banks (for debt sourcing) and finance teams to become the ideal partner for fund managing client portfolios or new acquisition and developers looking to outsource for a more local team presence.
- Tailored to your needs: By understanding the client and their specific objectives, we’re able to guide at every stage, offering personalised solutions.

The bones of a successful development haven’t really changed over the years; buy at the right price, in the right location with the right team of consultants to deliver but what really sets a successful development apart financially is getting the underwrite correct.
This service line within Hollis enables the development team to organically learn from our cost management, M&E, neighbourly matters and ESG teams when strategically looking at sites or assets. We can easily call on these services all over the UK and Europe to deliver a successful outcome for the client. Whether that’s assisting with existing portfolios where assets might be (or soon to be) stranded, or making new acquisitions.
