Our Approach

A family owned and run business, Dukelease has a diverse team of in-house specialists driving each stage of every project providing expertise across design, planning, development, marketing and finance. More than twenty years in the industry has placed us at the center of an unrivalled network of leading professionals who support the in-house team from inception through to completion.

Our principle of focused and intelligent development is based on five key priorities:

• Diligent Sourcing. The best sites in Prime Central London are acquired swiftly. We work intensively with our agents to secure deals both on and off the market. Focused preparation and analysis are key to the initial sequence of decisions we need to make, as we consider what is right for a property, right for our investors and right for the market.
• Performance. Our reputation in the market is that we always deliver and have the ability to act quickly. We have strong long-term relationships with our investors – some of the UK’s biggest property companies, pension funds and high net-worth individuals including British Airways Pension Trustees, Investec, Starwood Capital Advisors and British Land.
• The Right Balance. Our experience in Prime Central London means we know when to grasp an opportunity that is sure to succeed. We push in every direction, combining creativity with professional judgement to overcome challenges and fully exploit the potential of each project.
• Creative Insight. We pride ourselves on designing distinctively individual schemes which compliment the location and a particular market. Working closely with our residential and commercial agents, we develop a clear picture of the prospective buyers and tenants to ensure we deliver first class properties of the highest specification.
• Product of Quality. We deliver beautifully designed, highly finished, bespoke schemes – each bearing the trademark quality that Dukelease stakeholders have come to expect. Our meticulous attention to detail demonstrates our understanding of both high-end residential and market-leading commercial requirements.
