CapitalRise Originates £33.8m Across Six Deals in Just Seven Business Days
Specialist prime property finance provider CapitalRise has completed six loans in just seven business days, originating a total of £33.8 million between 25 June and 3 July. The transactions represent an average gross loan size of £5.6 million, and highlight continued demand from experienced developers and property investors seeking flexible, specialist funding solutions.
The transactions span a diverse range of locations, from Mayfair, Chelsea, Belgravia and North Kensington in London to Cardiff and Stratford-upon-Avon. This reflects both the strength of CapitalRise’s traditional Prime Central London lending market, and its expanding geographic reach – supporting experienced borrowers in sought-after areas across England and Wales.
These six deals also illustrate the breadth of CapitalRise’s product offering, encompassing a range of asset and loan types across both development and bridging finance. The firm’s end-to-end finance solutions enable it to fund experienced borrowers at different stages of the property lifecycle, from acquisition and planning through to construction and exit.
The largest of the six deals was a £7.9 million exit facility for a luxury airspace development in Chelsea, highlighting the firm’s ability to support complex projects with specialist funding requirements. Elsewhere, CapitalRise provided a £4 million bridge facility on a commercial asset in North Kensington to refinance existing debt and support its sale – following a significant planning-led value enhancement. The series of loans also included a £5.5 million senior development loan for the redevelopment of a Georgian townhouse in Belgravia, demonstrating the firm’s continued appetite for high-value residential projects in Prime Central London.
Overall, completing six transactions in just seven business days demonstrates the strength of CapitalRise’s lending platform and its ability to deploy capital efficiently at scale. Backed by a diverse range of institutional funding partners, the business can support borrowers across a variety of loan sizes and structures while maintaining a disciplined underwriting approach.
Now in its tenth year of lending, CapitalRise’s specialism in high-end development finance remains central to this success. Co-founded by the experienced property developers behind Finchatton and Valouran, the firm combines deep sector knowledge with robust credit and risk management processes, enabling it to respond quickly to opportunities and provide bespoke solutions for experienced borrowers delivering exceptional residential projects.
Uma Rajah, CEO of CapitalRise, commented:
“Originating £33.8 million across six deals in just seven working days is an outstanding achievement for the CapitalRise team. What is particularly encouraging is the breadth of these transactions. Alongside continued activity in Prime Central London – where we continue to specialise – we have completed our first development loans in both Wales and Stratford-upon-Avon. This is consistent with the increasing diversity of opportunities we are seeing from experienced sponsors.”
“Our ability to deliver consistently for experienced borrowers is underpinned by a combination of strong institutional funding relationships, a decade of high-end property lending, and a highly experienced team that understands the complexities of prime real estate projects. These foundations continue to position us strongly as we build on this momentum through the second half of the year.”
