The planning can work.

Can the deal?

WEST LONDON

COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL

The opportunity, at first glance

A West London commercial-to-residential opportunity with a credible development angle. The question was whether that potential could translate into a worthwhile acquisition.

​

The initial thesis was simple: create residential value and leave enough room for a meaningful development return.

​

A closer review showed why feasibility alone could not settle the decision. Different development outcomes carried different assumptions, costs and risks. The economics needed to be tested against the more cautious view.

The question that unlocks the case

​

If the lower-density planning route was the one most likely to work, did the deal still make enough money to justify the acquisition price?
