£2 Billion and Beyond – What Our Milestone Means for UK Property Development
Shawbrook is fast approaching £3 billion in total development funding. This achievement is a testament to the dedication, expertise, and impact of our team across the UK property development landscape.
From funding over 500 development projects to enabling the creation of 7,800 new homes and 1,200 student units, our journey has been defined by meaningful progress and regional transformation. We've supported a diverse range of developments—from co-living spaces and commercial units to care homes—each tailored to meet the evolving needs of communities and investors.
Our Development Finance team has played a pivotal role in guiding projects from concept to completion, delivering bespoke funding solutions that empower developers to build with confidence and ambition.
Simon Knowles, Senior Director commented:
"This milestone reflects not just the scale of our funding, but the trust developers place in us to deliver flexible, expert-led finance."
With deep regional expertise, we’ve helped unlock potential in areas often overlooked by mainstream lenders. Whether it’s a small-scale regeneration or a large mixed-use scheme, our approach remains consistent: agile, informed, and developer-focused.
Some of our standout achievements include:
- Supporting the delivery of sustainable housing in Melton Mowbray with a £4.2m facility
- Helping an experienced family-run developer consolidate debt with a £10.8m development exit loan
- Completing a bespoke £29.6m structured real estate facility in an exceptional timeframe
Reaching the £2 billion milestone is just the beginning. We remain committed to driving innovation, supporting more developers, and continuing to be a trusted partner in shaping the future of UK property development.
