What Addington Capital does

Addington Capital is an independent UK real estate asset manager founded in 2010 and headquartered at 6 Heddon Street, London. The firm partners with institutional capital — including pension funds, insurers, sovereign wealth funds, and alternative asset managers such as Europa Capital, Heitman, ICG, Sculptor Capital, and Tristan Capital — to acquire, reposition, and manage office, retail, and residential property across England and Scotland. Its joint-venture portfolio encompasses 2,700+ residential units in 14 regional towns and cities and flagship central London assets including 10 Fleet Place (186,000 sq.ft.), Bessborough Gardens in Westminster, Evermore at 128 Queen Victoria Street (acquired March 2024, 56,814 sq.ft.), and Velocity Village in Sheffield (acquired 2016 for £36.75m in JV with Europa Capital). The firm is led by three MRICS-qualified principals — Martin Roberts, Matthew Allen, and David Dalrymple — and operates with a small team of analysts, asset and development managers, and financial controllers.

The firm's core offering is a "brown to green" value-add strategy: acquiring older, energy-inefficient buildings and executing sustainability-led refurbishments — replacing gas boilers with air-source heat pumps, adding solar generation, and upgrading end-of-trip facilities — to reposition them for modern occupier demand. In 2017 the principals established AddLiving as a wholly-owned property management subsidiary, internalising day-to-day leasing, rent collection, maintenance, and compliance across the managed portfolio. Addington does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its competitive edge is described as conviction-based, contrarian investing, rigorous downside analysis, and alignment of interests with institutional partners. Revenue is generated through management fees and likely performance/carried interest on joint-venture investments, with pricing negotiated case-by-case with institutional partners; no fees, AUM, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
