Although the Kitewood Group is primarily focused on property development, an investment subsidiary has been created with the aim of retaining as investments elements of developments (or whole developments) where and when appropriate.
The main purpose for the investment business is to strengthen the Kitewood Group’s corporate covenant by counter balancing the earnings volatility inherent in property development, enhancing net assets, and providing further financial security.
Listed below are a few of Kitewood’s initial investments.
