Development

Development is a core part of Catalyst Capital's business activities in the UK. It comprises town-centre retail, out-of-town shopping schemes and retail-led mixed use schemes, as well as the development of distribution warehousing, industrial properties and office space.

The key attributes of the development team are:

• Identifying opportunities
• Feasibility studies
• Financial appraisal
• Sourcing and structuring investment partnerships and funding
• Land assembly
• Project team appointment
• Securing planning consents and other approvals
• Programme and budget analysis and implementation
• Procurement and construction
• Lettings, sales and re-gearing

The joint venture acquisition of J Sainsbury Developments Limited in 2004 brought with it a highly experienced management team, which complemented the already existing planning and construction skills within Catalyst Capital.
