What HILLWOOD (UK) LIMITED does

Hillwood UK is a private commercial real estate developer specialising in the development, investment, leasing, and disposal of industrial and logistics properties across the United Kingdom. The company operates as a subsidiary of Hillwood Investment Properties International, Ltd., a global commercial real estate platform with 30+ years of experience across Europe and North America, and was materially built through the 2024 acquisition of Trebor Developments (founded 2008 by current Managing Director Bob Tattrie). Hillwood UK delivers industrial and logistics units ranging from 10,000 sq ft to over 1,000,000 sq ft, targeting logistics and distribution operators, manufacturing companies, e-commerce firms, and urban logistics tenants. Its portfolio spans strategic UK logistics corridors including the M1, M6, A14, and M25, with active schemes in Luton, Peterborough, Northampton, Doncaster, Bristol, Tottenham, High Wycombe, Swanley, and South Wales.

Hillwood UK's business model combines property development (speculative build and build-to-suit), investment property ownership (rental income plus capital appreciation), and joint venture partnerships with landowners and co-developers to share risk and return. Revenue is generated through development gains on disposal, rental income from stabilised assets, development management fees, and capital appreciation on retained investments. Pricing is transaction-specific and negotiated per-lease or per-sale, with units ranging from ~1,905 sq ft to 850,000+ sq ft offered on leasehold or freehold terms. Properties are delivered to BREEAM Excellent/Outstanding and EPC A/A+ standards with EV charging infrastructure and net zero carbon targets, with sales channels combining direct enterprise leasing with a retained agent network (CBRE, Knight Frank, Bidwells, M1 Agency, SHW, DTRE) and direct institutional investor sales (Swiss Life Asset Managers, DTZ Investors). Notable occupiers include Evri, Geodis, Crown Holdings, Oxford Instruments, Nick Scali, and Imperial Ductwork Services, and joint venture partners include Goya Developments, Maple Grove Developments, Glencar, and A&H Construction, alongside the Welsh Government and Development Bank of Wales for South Wales expansion.

Revenue model

1. Property Development Services: Hillwood develops industrial and logistics properties from land acquisition through design, construction, and delivery. Revenue is generated through development fees, property sales, and lease income from completed assets.
2. Investment Property Ownership: Hillwood holds developed properties for investment purposes, generating rental income until properties are sold to investors. This creates recurring revenue through leasing while providing capital appreciation through asset appreciation and eventual disposal.
3. Joint Venture Partnerships: Hillwood establishes joint ventures with landowners and co-development partners to share risk and return on development projects. These arrangements typically involve Hillwood providing development expertise and capital in exchange for a share of development profits or ongoing income.
