Investec Real Estate completed £922 million of activity in its 2025/26 financial year, taking its three-year total to £2.48 billion.
The business completed £284 million of development lending and £638 million of investment financing in the year from April 2025 to March 2026.
Over the past three financial years, Investec Real Estate has delivered £955 million of development lending and £1.53 billion of investment financing.
Activity in 2025/26 included £322 million across residential, £374 million across commercial property and £226 million across student accommodation and co-living.
Across the three-year period, Investec completed £755 million across residential, £1.26 billion across commercial and £462 million across student accommodation and co-living.
Investec said it had now syndicated more than £1 billion since establishing its syndication platform, helping it to support larger overall loan sizes for clients.
The bank said the platform had increased its ability to underwrite and deliver larger transactions by combining decision-making speed, execution certainty and flexible capital structures.
Investec REALIS, the bank’s real estate equity strategy, completed five transactions in FY2025/26 with a combined GDV of £140 million.
Since launch three years ago, REALIS has completed eight transactions totalling £285 million of GDV.
Mark Bladon, head of Investec Real Estate, says: “Investec’s performance over the last financial year reflects the breadth of the platform and the benefit of remaining disciplined, flexible and client-focused through different points in the cycle.
“Across development lending and investment financing, the business has continued to support clients with capital solutions aligned to their strategies and the opportunities they are pursuing, while also increasing its ability to back larger transactions.
“Completing £922 million in the year and £2.48 billion over the last three financial years demonstrates continued momentum across the residential, commercial and living sectors.
“Syndicating more than £1 billion since establishing the platform is another important milestone, increasing Investec’s ability to support clients with larger overall loan ticket sizes and more complex transactions, while also underlining its role in the partner capital market.
“Alongside this, REALIS has continued to build scale as Investec’s real estate equity strategy, with five transactions completed in the last financial year and eight completed since launch.”
Recent deals included a £53 million residential financing package for LRC Group, support for Hines & Chancerygate on an Oldham development loan, a £22 million loan to Greenridge Opportunities Fund for 3 Temple Quay in Bristol, and an £11 million loan to Kennedy Wilson for a South London industrial outdoor storage site.
Other transactions included a £41.3 million investment loan to City & Docklands and Housing Growth Partnership to refinance North Kensington Gate, an £85 million loan to JRL Group and Housing Growth Partnership for a build-to-rent scheme, a £28 million loan to Hillwood for a Northamptonshire logistics development, and a £26 million development loan to Moorfield Group for a 204-bed student accommodation scheme in Bristol.
Investec REALIS completed five transactions during the year, including acquisitions in Brighton and Bristol with XLB, and three urban logistics transactions in Greenwich, Cambridge and Harlow with Wrenbridge.
