The lender is now targeting £2bn in lending by 2029.

This will be driven by expansion in its origination team, alongside continued development of its lending offering.

“We have built a business that consistently delivers for developers, even in difficult markets, by combining speed and flexibility with rigorous credit discipline,” said Chris Gardner, CEO at Atelier (pictured above).

“Our relationships, our execution capability and our understanding of the property cycle mean we are increasingly the lender of choice for experienced developers and their advisers.

Paul Silva, chief financial officer at Atelier, added: “Our success is built on more than origination alone. From day one, we have invested heavily in robust risk management, portfolio monitoring and capital efficiency, ensuring that growth is sustainable and repeatable.

“With these foundations firmly in place, we are exceptionally well positioned to scale the business and support an increasing number of high-quality development projects in 2026 and beyond.”
