What Proma Group does

Proma Group is a UK-based, privately-held property development and construction company founded in 2008, operating across London and the North West of England. The group operates through three divisions: Proma Developments (development and project origination), Proma Construction (in-house building contractor with an established supply chain of leading London construction specialists), and Proma (Design) Limited (architectural and interior design services based in Redhill, Surrey). Together, these units deliver luxury residential and commercial projects end-to-end, from initial concept and planning through to final build.

The company's core offering spans mid-size luxury residential developments, bespoke private family residences, and mixed-use commercial/residential schemes. The portfolio of 17+ named projects includes St James Theatre & Twelve Palace Street (Westminster, the first new London theatre in 30+ years, with 35 luxury residences), Dorset House (30 apartments in Ealing, designed by Squire & Partners), Dorset Square (17 Grade 2-listed residences in Marylebone, designed by Freddy van Zevenbergen), The White House (Clapham Common), Lordship Lane (Dulwich, anchored by a 10,000 sq ft M&S Simply Food), and Church Mews (bespoke townhouses in Hale, Cheshire). No proprietary technology platforms or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.

Proma generates revenue primarily through one-time, project-based development and construction engagements, with pricing determined on a per-project, quote-based basis and no public pricing tiers. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with long-term partnerships with funders, investors, architects, and interior designers generating project origination. Commercial tenants include UK high street brands such as Marks & Spencer. The company is independently owned with no disclosed parent, external investors, or funding rounds, and reports a headcount of 5,001-10,000 employees across offices in London (Dorset Street), Reigate (Surrey), and Redhill (Surrey).
