Global 1 is a value-add real estate investment and advisory business, focused on development-backed and asset-led investment opportunities across the residential and commercial sectors, primarily in Prime Central London, with selective activity across the wider UK.
With over 20 years’ experience in the London real estate market, Global 1 specialises in identifying opportunities where value can be created through pricing, structuring, repositioning, and disciplined execution, working alongside experienced development, design, and professional partners.
Global 1 sources opportunities through a long-established professional network that includes property owners, developers, lenders, receivers, and regulated advisers active across the UK real estate market.
Opportunities are typically off-market or time-sensitive, requiring speed, discretion, and a clear understanding of execution and exit from the outset. Each opportunity is assessed on a risk-adjusted basis, with a focus on clarity of structure, deliverability, and downside protection.
Global 1 structures and executes development-backed investment opportunities through project-specific joint ventures, working within a clearly defined execution framework.
Each project is undertaken via a dedicated SPV, with roles and responsibilities aligned across origination, development delivery, design, and sales. This approach ensures that acquisition strategy, delivery considerations, and exit planning are aligned from the outset and managed cohesively through to completion.
Global 1’s role within each investment typically includes:
Opportunity origination and acquisition support
Transaction structuring and joint-venture alignment
Market positioning and pricing strategy
Sales execution and exit management
Ongoing coordination across the project lifecycle
Development, construction, and design are delivered by experienced specialist partners, operating within the same project structure.
Global 1 actively reviews opportunities across the following sectors, subject to location, pricing, and execution profile:

This background enables Global 1 to identify opportunities that are commercially compelling, executable, and aligned with investor objectives.
