About

The Founders have known each other for many years and during the last decade have developed a strong working relationship that has stretched across several sectors, including renewable energy, hotels, leisure, specialist supported living, food manufacturing, retail, technology and real estate.

Their first project was to finance the re-development of a 5* hotel and residential development on the south coast of England, in 2009.

Corvette was established to build on the Founders’ real estate interests, to create a sustainable source of income and to cater for demand from other investors wishing to invest alongside the Founders in similar projects.

The Founders have provided both equity and loans into more than 30 residential/commercial developments, with GDVs ranging from £5m to £150m+. Additionally, it has provided bridge finance to several trading businesses, secured against real estate assets. These loans and investments continue to generate strong returns.

Deal flow continues to be strong, delivering impressive returns over a comparatively short investment period, achieved across different price points and locations. All residential developments carefully address local housing demands with a strong ESG focus.

Corvette continues to originate attractive investment opportunities in which it deploys its own capital, alongside its JV partners. All transactions are on a deal by deal basis and we will only invest in opportunities that satisfy our strict investment criteria.
