Glenhawk has launched a new structured real estate division, designed to provide lending solutions for larger, more complex short-term funding needs.
The division will offer loans ranging from £5m to £50m through what the firm describes as a "relationship-driven approach".
Glenhawk is currently placing a particular focus on "high-growth living sectors" such as purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) and co-living.
The firm added that “by responding to the evolving demands of property professionals”, the initiative aims to "enhance the availability of flexible, tailored financial solutions in a fast-moving market".
Alongside the launch, the firm has promoted Chris Daly to the role of managing director for structured real estate. In this new role, Daly will continue to report to chief executive officer and founder, Guy Harrington, and will "drive the development of this specialist division".
Daly said: "The introduction of our structured real estate division is an exciting opportunity to grow our large loan offering in response to market demands. By delivering bespoke, large-scale lending solutions through a relationship-led approach, we aim to support property professionals across a range of sectors, including PBSA and co-living."
Harrington concluded: "The creation of our structured real estate division marks a major step forward for Glenhawk as we continue to scale and innovate. Daly’s promotion reflects his invaluable contributions to the business, deep industry expertise, and ability to execute our ambitious growth plans. This new division enables us to better serve our introducers and clients, reinforcing our reputation for exceptional service."
