Asset Management
HKIP is recognised for its proactive and entrepreneurial approach to commercial real estate asset management across the UK.
Over almost 20 years, the business has developed a strong track record of creating, protecting, and enhancing value through detailed market knowledge, occupier engagement, and hands-on operational expertise. HKIP has significant experience repositioning and actively managing both stabilised and transitional assets to improve income resilience, occupational quality and long-term performance.
Our experience spans all major commercial property sectors including offices, business parks, retail, leisure, industrial, hotels and mixed-use assets. We advise on all aspects of landlord and tenant negotiations including lettings, lease renewals, lease restructures, lease re-gears and wider occupier engagement strategies.
HKIP also has particular expertise in office and mixed-use repositioning projects, including refurbishment initiatives, ESG-led enhancement programmes, flex and fitted workspace strategies and operational optimisation designed to enhance both occupier appeal and asset value.
The business provides strategic asset management and advisory services to joint venture partners, institutional investors, lenders and third-party clients.
Strategic Asset Advisory
Alongside its principal investment and asset management activities, HKIP also provides strategic advisory and operational asset management support to investors, lenders and third-party stakeholders across a range of commercial real estate situations.
The business has extensive experience advising on leasing strategy, repositioning initiatives, operational enhancement projects, refurbishment programmes, refinancing situations and wider asset business plan implementation.
HKIP’s detailed occupational market knowledge, extensive industry relationships and practical hands-on experience allow the business to provide commercially focused advice designed to protect income, enhance asset performance and maximise long-term value.
Development
Stephen and John previously spent a combined 20 years with a highly respected national property developer specialising in commercial developments with an emphasis on retail, office, industrial and mixed use schemes.
Typically, this involved the sourcing of opportunities, securing pre-lets or occupiers and agreeing funding packages from site preparation through to practical completion and beyond. Projects were often undertaken within joint venture partnerships.
Whilst the focus of HKIP activities has been predominantly investment related, we are involved in a range of live development led opportunities and have delivered new build, property extension, refurbishment and redevelopment solutions as part of our portfolio asset management activities.
Funding
Over almost 20 years, HKIP has developed strong relationships across the UK lending and investment market, including major clearing banks, institutional funds, challenger banks, private lenders and alternative debt providers.
Combined with extensive transactional experience, these relationships enable HKIP to structure and negotiate funding solutions across a wide range of investment strategies and asset business plans.
HKIP has significant experience working alongside lenders, investors and advisers on acquisition funding, refinancing, repositioning projects and wider asset management initiatives, managing funding processes efficiently on behalf of both HKIP and its investment partners.
Equity Partner
HKIP co-invests alongside its investment partners across acquisitions, whilst taking responsibility for the ongoing asset management and implementation of each asset’s business plan.
This alignment between equity participation and hands-on asset management ensures HKIP remains fully focused on protecting and enhancing long-term asset value.
The business adopts a proactive approach to value creation, with expertise in leasing strategy, occupier engagement, refurbishment, repositioning and operational enhancement initiatives designed to improve both occupational performance and investment returns.
By combining capital commitment with active day-to-day management, HKIP works closely with investors, lenders and stakeholders to deliver practical, market-led asset management solutions across a broad range of commercial real estate assets.
