We are specialist Investment & Development Managers, bringing a unique operator’s mindset to the traditional London office market.
We place tenants at the heart of an asset strategy, creating beautiful, functional spaces and an outstanding customer experience.
Our spaces are leased via a combination of Traditional, Fitted and Managed spaces and fully operated buildings to suit sub-market demand.
We act as Principal, JV partner, or Advisor to deliver superior returns with certainty of outcome.
Our Product Expertise
We bridge the gap between institutional real estate and operational excellence across in four ways:
Traditional
Offices
A value-add approach to the delivery of high-specification, sustainable Base Build environments.
We provide the institutional-grade base build that allows for long-term flexibility and ESG compliance, ensuring assets are positioned for maximum capital growth.
Fitted
Offices
Leveraging deep operational insights into tenant behaviours to create assets that align with modern demand.
We combine high-aesthetic design with institutional supply-chain discipline to minimise CapEx while maximising appeal.
Managed
Offices
Unrivalled knowledge into the managed office deal structures and operator network.
We navigate the uncertainties of the market to identify the ideal operator and deal structure, ensuring a surgical match that maximises asset value.
Fully Integrated
Operational Buildings
The Kentro Alpha.
We align hospitality with the built environment to drive Yield-on-Cost for our partners.
We integrate operational real estate to create the physical amenities and experiences that modern tenants value and pay a premium for.
The Kentro Alpha
