A practice built on relationships that compound.
Affinity Development Partners sits between the developer and the capital market. We arrange development finance and advise developers as they scale - from first project to institutional platform.
How we work
We take a small number of mandates at a time and run each one ourselves. The person who writes the feasibility is the person who negotiates the term sheet and the person who manages conditions through to financial close. Nothing is handed down.
That structure is deliberate. Capital markets reward preparation, and preparation cannot be delegated away from the people who understand the project.
Where we sit
Our clients are developers and family offices who want one team across the capital stack and the corporate strategy behind it. Our counterparties are major banks, non-bank lenders, private credit funds and equity partners.
Where a transaction meets our investment criteria, we can also lend directly alongside our institutional fund partners. We are prepared to hold the same risk we ask others to price.
