Experience
Listed below are a sample of deals and projects that Longview Capital’s Founder Matt Chandler has worked and been instrumental on.
STRATEGIC LAND
CAMBRIDGE
Residential BROWNFIELD Site
Successfully acquired a 5-acre former manufacturing facility on an unconditional basis, securing planning permission for the development of 80 residential units alongside commercial office space. After several years of promoting the site through the local planning process, planning permission was achieved and sold to a housebuilder for twice the original purchase price.
NOTTINGHAM
URBAN logistics centre acquisition
One notable project involved the unconditional purchase of a large public building along with the acquisition of adjacent vacant land. I successfully negotiated the termination of commercial lease in place to secure vacant possession of the site. Due to undersupply of Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) in the a planning application for the development of just under 800 units was submitted and approved for both sites, which in turn provided a substantia return against the original unconditional purchase.
COMMERCIAL ASSET
STRATEGIC LAND
LEICESTerSHIRE
Residential Site
Successful promotion of 50 residential plots through the local plan process while simultaneously managing an outline planning application.
Due to the district's insufficient housing supply, the speculative outline application was approved by the planning committee ahead of the formal allocation of residential land. The land was then sold with outline planning permission to a housebuilder.
BIRMINGHAM
COVERED SHOPPING CENTRE
An acquisition of an underperforming shopping centre to increase the the net opening income.
Through proactive and intensive asset management, including strategic tenant negotiations and operational improvements, the income was increased substantially and sold on the open market at an increased capital value.
