CapitalRise Completes £3.85m Facility for De Beauvoir Luxury Home
CapitalRise announces the completion of a new development loan to support the creation of a high‑end five‑bedroom contemporary home in De Beauvoir Town – one of North London’s most desirable residential neighbourhoods. The facility refinances a previous bridge loan provided by CapitalRise and will now fund the initial phase of construction for this transformative redevelopment.
Situated on a quiet residential street within the De Beauvoir Town Conservation Area, the site presents a rare opportunity to deliver a substantial new‑build home in a highly sought‑after postcode. The area is renowned for its characterful terraces, historic architecture, and strong community atmosphere.
With De Beauvoir Square – the neighbourhood’s formally-planned, historic garden square – only a short walk away, and both Dalston Junction and Highbury & Islington stations within easy reach, the location blends excellent connectivity with a distinctly ‘village‑like’ feel that continues to attract discerning owner‑occupiers.
The approved scheme, funded by CapitalRise, will convert an existing commercial building into a striking 7,500 sq. ft. family home arranged over lower ground, raised ground and two upper floors. The plans feature expansive lateral living spaces, a lift to all floors, a large open‑plan kitchen and living area, multiple bedroom suites, and a dramatic principal suite with a wrap‑around private terrace.
The property will also include a dedicated lifestyle and wellness floor incorporating a training pool, gym, sauna and bar. Amenities are rarely achievable on a site of this scale in inner London.
The borrowers – a married couple with decades of development experience – have delivered multiple residential schemes across London since the 1990s, including a recent project in nearby Islington. Their proven track record and local understanding strengthened the case for funding.
The facility was originated by Katy Katani, Lending Director at CapitalRise, who commented:
“This is an exceptionally ambitious and beautifully conceived scheme, and we are delighted to be supporting the borrowers as they bring their vision to life. Their track record and attention to detail give us real confidence in the delivery of what will be a truly standout home for De Beauvoir Town.”
This latest facility underscores CapitalRise’s commitment to supporting high-quality, design-led residential developments in prime locations. With its scale, contemporary specification and standout setting, this project is another example of the lender’s focus on enabling exceptional homes to be realised.
Michelle Atherton at Maeva Finance Ltd, who introduced the loan to CapitalRise, added:
“Despite the excellent track record of the developer on similar previous projects, this was a challenge to place, being a high-value single asset in Central London. Also, being a commercial conversion, I needed to find a lender that could think outside of the box. Katy and CapitalRise were supportive from day one and have pulled out all the stops to make it happen. “
