With a combined GDV of over £300m, Beaufort achieved this lending milestone funding a variety of developments, with notable projects including:

• a PBSA scheme in the centre of Birmingham, working with a repeat client to deliver an exceptional project
• the development of four self-storage facilities with a new client who intends on growing its self-storage portfolio over the long-term
• two PBSA projects: 139 units in Southampton and 155 in Edinburgh
• a light industrial JV strategy with a 10-year existing client, for whom Beaufort provided a flexible debt facility and an equity co-investment to partner on the active management and repositioning initiative

Joe Flaherty, director at Beaufort Capital, commented: "We are delighted to be working with such a range of accomplished and highly experienced developers and are excited to be funding much needed quality and sustainable developments across the UK”.

Mark Quigley, managing director for UK real estate finance at Beaufort Capital, added: “It has been a great end to last year and a wonderful start to the new year and with more transactions in legals we’re anticipating a very strong first quarter.

“It is pleasing to being able to support long-standing clients whilst at the same time bringing new borrowers into the Beaufort Capital fold.”
