A property investor based in Hong Kong saw the opportunity to purchase two Georgian townhouses in a prestigious location in Edinburgh. The properties were currently being used as office space, and the client had gained planning permission to convert the buildings into 11 luxury apartments.

Lowry Capital has provided, to date, £3.2million in stages, in line with the client’s schedule of works. Many of the apartments have already been bought off plan. With prices starting at £455,000, the development has a GDV of circa £6million, proving to be a very lucrative project for the client.
