News10th July 2008 Kitewood bucks the trend
Property development group Kitewood have today challenged London’s agents and land owners to contact them with their brownfield redevelopment sites. Kitewood still has an active acquisition plan despite the current property downturn. The firm have mailed all Greater London agents asking for sites between 0.5-5 acre, near good transport links needing re-development, preferably with no planning. Kitewood recently recruited James Clark as Land Director to their land team at their London office in order to assist in the management of their busy acquisition programme. James previously worked in the Development team at CBRE. Bob Grylls, Director of Kitewood’s London office says “We have an impeccable track record of acquiring planning for mixed development and social housing schemes on difficult sites, where we seriously add value for the land owner and the local community alike. We’d like to hear from anyone who has a site in a London Borough that meets our requirements.” |

All developments are undertaken with a strong emphasis on risk control and mitigation.
