Thanks to those who joined us yesterday for an afternoon of watching cricket, biryani and informal networking - with both old and new connections.

📢 New JV Announcement! 📢

The cat's out the bag..! We're thrilled to announce our new Joint Venture with Cordage Group, bringing you Prideview Cordage, to offer a range of services within planning and architecture in the London area.

With our expertise in property acquisitions and disposals, it made perfect sense to branch into asset management and planning services. The Prideview Group now cover every stage of the property development lifecycle, combining Cordage’s planning expertise with Prideview’s tried and tested transactional abilities.

Prideview Cordage is Cordage Group’s regional office covering London and the M25, headed up by Juan Fernando Galué who brings with him a wealth of experience in architecture and planning.

The business has a pipeline of sites across London which are being planned and developed for sale, owned by several major Housing Associations, Pub and Supermarket chains, meaning Prideview’s private investors can rest assured that a strong supply of off-market investment opportunities is available to them first.

To find out more about these opportunities and the new JV, please email juan@plcarchitects.com and read the full announcement in our press release linked in our bio and stories.

Thank you to the Asian-Jewish Business Network for

Thank you to the Asian-Jewish Business Network for hosting their annual exhibition earlier this week, which was a resounding success.

As first time exhibitors, it was great for the Prideview Group to be immersed among businesses passionate to collaborate and connect. We showcased our services in CRE, as well as introduced our new architectural and planning arm, which we recently announced.

A great day, catching up with many existing connections and making new ones too.

We look forward to following up with many of you in the coming days and weeks.

Thanks to Russell Bahar and Bianca Weber for their tireless work behind the scenes in pulling this together.

Thanks to Roshni Thakrar for inviting our very own

Thanks to Roshni Thakrar for inviting our very own, Vishal Patel, Principal at the Prideview Group on her podcast, Prim Rose Light.

In this episode, they delve into Vishal's entrepreneurial journey and career in real estate - from working with his father and uncle in his late teens to now owning and growing his own portfolio.

Vishal shares insights into how the real estate sector has transformed over the years, the highs and the lows. He adds that when you're dealing with high amounts of money and emotions, integrity is the most important quality to have.

As an Ambassador for YUVA Unstoppable and being a part of Prideview's Cricket events, supporting One Kind Act, charity and giving back are hugely important to Vishal.

But underpinning his career and his drive is Vishal's faith and spirituality, recognising the importance of this in ones life and how it can support you in the workplace.

Ultimately Vishal's aim is to instill moral values to his children and to be present for all those important moments and milestones.

Grab and cuppa and have a listen! We hope you enjoy this podcast - Linked in our stories and bio.

Thanks to all our investors for joining us at our buyers lunch at the beautiful @chinatanglondon. Without your support, trust and investment, our deals wouldn’t be possible.

Yesterday was a chance to show you how far we’ve come over the last five years - despite the challenges of COVID-19, the Ukraine War and poor economic conditions, we’ve persevered and expanded across sectors and services.

So cheers to you 🥂, and let’s keep working together and making deals happen.

🏢 Prideview Group featured in Bisnow's Special

🏢 Prideview Group featured in Bisnow's Special Office Report.

The humble office, once the cornerstone of working life, has in recent years, seen a real decline. Most prominently evident during the COVID-19 pandemic, when we saw the biggest WFH trial, like never before.

But the damage wasn't limited to COVID-10 lockdowns. Even after nationwide vaccination programmes and the resuming of usual activities, offices didn't see a return to pre-pandemic levels. Rather, most offices have re-evaluated their needs amid the shift to remote and hybrid work schedules.

In this special report, Bisnow spoke to 15 small owners across the USA and UK to see how they are developing a host of new strategies to backfill their buildings. From operating their own coworking spaces, to breaking vacant floors up into smaller spec suites, and offering more concessions, small businesses have diversified to survive.

As a family business, we've not been immune to these challenges either. Dilip Shah, one of our senior consultants shared with Bisnow how #ESG regulation is adding extra burdens on small businesses, "who can't benefit from economies of scale."

Although we're still buying and selling office buildings, we're now converting many of these offices to other uses, like nurseries or schools for pupils with special educational needs.

Our team continues to diversify approaches to meet different and growing needs in the market. As always, please get in touch with us to discuss your requirements and see how we can support you too.

You can read the full article on Bisnow's website (linked on our stories, N.B. Please register to read the full piece).

🤝 The start of a new partnership 🤝

Following our recent membership to the Asian-Jewish Business Network, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting their London members at our Stanmore HQ last night (13 Sept).

An evening of networking, making connections and good conversations across two communities with many shared values. We’re excited about the future of this partnership 💯.

It was brilliant to hear from Peter Oppenheimer, Chief Global Equity Strategist & Head of Macro Research, Europe at Goldman Sachs, who shared some great insights on the current state of the economy and where we’re heading - thank you for giving us your time.

Thank you, also to George Constant, Partner at Spector Constant & Williams for reiterating the strength of the AJBN network, and to our very own Mark Hoffman FRICS for closing the speeches.

The evening set the tone for what’s coming ahead, the Asian-Jewish Business Network’s annual exhibition at the Business Design Centre on 16th October 2023, where we’re exhibiting.

If you’re coming along too, we look forward to meeting you and chatting more about the wide array of services we offer in CRE, as well as introducing our new planning and architecture arm.

As we mark #InternationalDayofCharity (5th Septemb

As we mark #InternationalDayofCharity (5th September), we’re dedicating this to @okacharity, a wonderful charity we’ve had the privilege of supporting over the last 11 years.

#InternationalDayofCharity aims to mobilise people all around the world to help others through volunteering and philanthropic activities.

For us, this has primarily been through our annual #PrideviewCricket Cup events, which have raised over £200,000 for One Kind Act, since its inauguration, supporting charities in the UK and globally.

This year, our #PrideviewCricket Cup raised £35,000, with funds being distributed to @landaidcharity, the property industry charity, alongside @yuva_unstoppable, an NGO that provides underprivileged youth in India with basic needs.

We’d like to thank our sponsors, supporters and spectators over the years, who have helped us reach these significant milestones.

Catch up on the antics, fun and camaraderie of this year’s event in our highlights reel. You can watch the full video on our website (linked in our stories).

Prideview Group interviewed by BE News!💯

We're thrilled to share our interview with Liz Hamson, Editor of BE News, which was published this week.

Nilesh, Jesal, Vishal and Sej in our team had the pleasure of talking to and hosting Liz in our Stanmore HQ, sharing the journey of Prideview over the last 35+ years.

From our founders, Shailesh and Raj, buying contracts at London commercial auction houses in the 80s and 90s to now offering a full suite of services in commercial property - with a 20-strong team - we've come a long way in the last four decades.

At the start of this year, we closed £750 million worth of transactions and despite ongoing global economic challenges, we're now working towards our next major milestone, which is £1 billion.

As we diversify into new areas and potentially new locations, we'll continue to stay true to our values, which is 'building relationships' and 'giving back'.

Thanks as always, to our hardworking team and to Liz for this feature.

You can read the full interview linked in our stories. (Please note you'll need to sign up to BE News to read the article but this is FREE to do so).

✨ £35,000 RAISED! ✨

We're ending the week on a high because a whopping £35,000 was raised at our #PrideviewCricket Cup 2023, which took place on 18th July.

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, supporters and spectators, we’ve raised a tremendous amount of money, for One Kind Act, who will distribute the funds between YUVA Unstoppable and LandAid.

With this year’s funds, the #PrideviewCricket Cup has raised over £200,000 for One Kind Act, since its inauguration, supporting charities in the UK and globally.

Our 11th cricket event this year had all the fun, antics and camaraderie you would expect. From the six teams battling it out for the winning title to the Ladies bowl-out and children's match, and not forgetting the lively auction and raffle, we've created some brilliant memories.

🏆 Congratulations to Major Estates Harrow, who took home the #PrideviewCricket Cup for the second year running, while newcomers to the event, Cordage Group came second. Knight Frank won the plate competition, The Prideview Champions Trophy 🏆.

While the day is always great fun, the overall purpose is to raise as much money, and we're thrilled to have reached the amount we have. We're proud of all the teams and thankful for everyone’s support. Bring on #PrideviewCricket 2024!
