CapitalRise Secures Further 50% Extension to Senior Funding Facility

Prime property development finance lender CapitalRise announces a further 50% extension to one of its senior institutional funding lines, bringing the business’s total available capital to over £500m. The partnership, established in 2022 with a well‑known investment management firm, has now seen three successive uplifts, underscoring the institution’s sustained confidence in CapitalRise’s lending strategy and performance.

The collaboration was originally formed to provide the investment management firm with targeted access to the Prime Central London (PCL) development finance market, in which CapitalRise has long specialised. However, as CapitalRise’s geographic and asset focus has broadened in recent years, the partnership has expanded in tandem.

This continued growth is founded on a strong, transparent relationship between the two organisations, which began in 2022. CapitalRise has executed its strategy with discipline and consistency, building the trust that has enabled the partnership to scale effectively. This trust has been reinforced by strong deployment performance, and even more critically, by the lender’s track record of successful loan redemptions.

Given the strength of the relationship, the funding partner has supported CapitalRise through various strategic evolutions, backing broader geographic diversification and an expanded remit across new asset classes within the ‘living’ sector. In 2025, 41% of CapitalRise’s loan book was outside of London, spanning prime locations in the Home Counties and other premium regional markets.

For borrowers, this strong institutional backing translates into greater certainty of funding and smoother deal execution. As a multi‑funded platform – combining various sources of institutional capital with our private capital platform – CapitalRise places significant emphasis on maintaining seamless operational integration with its funding partners. Development and bridging finance are inherently complex, and borrowers rely on lenders that can deliver a smooth, efficient experience. The bespoke structure of CapitalRise’s loans therefore requires equally bespoke funding arrangements, and this partnership is a clear example of that model working successfully in practice.

Pip Lashko‑Sayers, Head of Capital Markets at CapitalRise, said:

“Securing a funding line extension relies not only on thorough due diligence, but also on a direct and personal relationship across our institutional partnerships. Building a strong lending business depends on the trust and relationships behind it. I speak with the team several times a week, every week, and there is real mutual trust that has been built over the years.

“Institutions increasingly recognise that accessing the prime residential development market safely requires specialist expertise. With decades of experience and over £1.3bn of prime real estate lending to date, CapitalRise provides partners with the underwriting capability they often lack in‑house. It’s this leading sector expertise – and the confidence it brings – that underpins our continued growth and this latest extension.

“This latest increase is a testament to the strength of that partnership, and we are delighted it will continue enabling CapitalRise to support high‑quality borrowers delivering exceptional schemes across prime locations in England and Wales.”
