Paul Dodds and Sonia Gill have launched a new real estate advisory and investment business for UK developers.
DG Capital Partners will support commercial and residential developers of all sizes with an integrated, full lifecycle service across sales, marketing, finance solutions and disposal solutions.
The firm’s master agency service will provide developers with a fully managed, end-to-end sales solution, with the business leveraging a distribution network of almost 20 agents, intermediaries and investors across the UK, Europe, Asia and the Middle East to maximise international sales exposure and capital growth opportunities.
The company’s debt offering will see it work with developers, family offices and alternative capital providers to broker specialist funding solutions, including development finance, bridging and mezzanine facilities.
It will advise clients throughout the financing process, from assessing funding requirements and structuring the capital stack through to lender engagement, negotiation and drawdown. The firm also has a property investment function, which will advise investors on asset and land acquisition opportunities across the UK.
Dodds said: “The UK development market has become increasingly complex, with the relationship between capital, sales performance and exit strategy more important than ever. We have established DG Capital Partners to provide developers with an end-to-end service that considers those elements not in isolation but together. Our experience in the market means we understand the commercial pressures facing developers at each and every stage of a project, where we can bring together capital, credible strategic sales and clearly defined exit routes to help clients de-risk and improve certainty.”
Gill added: “DG Capital Partners has been built around execution and a clear understanding of what developers, funders and investors require from a project. Our focus is on creating strategies that are aligned with the development programme, funding milestones and ultimate exit objectives from the outset. Our international distribution capabilities mean we can connect UK projects with a broader pool of buyers, intermediaries and capital relationships, while maintaining a single, coordinated strategy for the developer.”
