Founded in 2014 and based in Berkeley Square, Mayfair – the heart of London's real estate investment community – Magna Group has consolidated its reputation over the last five years as one of the UK's most progressive property development businesses. The Magna Group has come together with a single focus and a singular aim: to change the suburban skyline with our vibrant vision for decidedly modern living. Chris Madelin, Oliver Mason and Jonathan Beach have built a team of all the talents to pursue with confidence our shared ambition of driving revenue growth to achieve £500m GDV annually within the next five years. Magna will build on the enormous momentum it has already generated, revitalising tired suburban landscapes and forging vibrant, modern, opulent community spaces where prosperity and abundance are celebrated and lives are lived well. We will continue to work closely with our investors to write new chapters in the Magna Story. WHAT WE DO We focus on finding the right location and then the right investment opportunity to provide superb quality, high specification homes in which to lead modern, fulfilling, vibrant, connected lives, by redeveloping existing assets and sites in our strategic locations that we identify as offering strong market potential. Our vision is to roll out our focused development model to major UK cities. HOW WE DO IT Our approach is to purchase undervalued assets such as commercial office buildings, brownfield sites and run down property, gaining planning for schemes to add value to the area and subsequently bringing a larger multi-unit scheme to the market. We focus on sites we can secure using a consented offer, normally subject to planning and we also use options and delayed completions. Schemes typically have Gross Development Values (GDV) of between £2m and £20m, located in and around the south west of London area, prime commuter belt and also in central London.
