Glenhawk launches structured real estate division

Specialist property lender Glenhawk has introduced a new structured real estate division, marking a strategic expansion aimed at diversifying its lending portfolio.

The division will focus on providing bespoke loans between £5 million and £50 million, targeting residential and mixed-use properties, with an emphasis on high-growth sectors such as purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) and co-living.

The move is designed to address the increasing demand for larger, more complex short-term financing solutions. By adopting a relationship management approach, Glenhawk aims to strengthen its position in the specialist property finance sector and cater to borrowers seeking tailored funding options.

Chris Daly (pictured left) has been promoted to managing director of the new division and will continue reporting to chief executive and co-founder Guy Harrington (pictured right).

“The launch of our structured real estate division represents an exciting opportunity to expand Glenhawk’s large loan offering in response to evolving market demands,” Daly said. “By delivering tailored, large-scale lending solutions, through a relationship director model, we aim to enable property professionals across a range of sectors, including PBSA and co-living.”

Harrington said the launch of the new division marks a “significant milestone” in Glenhawk’s growth.

“Chris’ promotion reflects his contributions to the business to date, his deep knowledge of real estate lending, alongside his ability to drive forward our ambitious plans,” he added. “This new division positions us perfectly to meet the diverse needs of our introducers and clients while continuing to deliver the exceptional service Glenhawk is known for.”
