2 alignedbusiness db symmetry was formed as a UK joint venture through the purchase of a 60% holding in Barwood Developments Limited by clients advised by Delancey; a specialist real estate investment, development and advisory company. The remaining 40% shareholding is controlled by the executive management team. Created in 1996 the business has evolved to become one of the leading independent privately owned commercial property development companies in the United Kingdom. Our experienced development team has been involved in some of the most dynamic and successful speculative and occupier led development schemes throughout the United Kingdom. With an existing portfolio of both ready to go consented land and a significant strategic land bank, we have the expertise, the sites and the in-house funding to deliver high quality buildings for our customers.

3 We have the track record, the sites & the in-house funding to deliver high-quality buildings for our customers Strategic Land We have recognised over the years that a good quality pipeline of consented land our raw material is vital to the longevity of our business. The company has an existing portfolio of both ready to go consented land (693 acres / 9.2 m sq ft) and probably the UK s largest strategic land portfolio for logistics (2,394 acres / 36.6 m sq ft) focused around the Golden Triangle, the M40 and the North West s prime M6 and M62 corridors. Planning consent has been secured for over 10.9 m sq ft in the last 3 years alone. Paramount to the success of our land portfolio is the quality of the relationships which we have been able to develop with our landowner partners and local authorities, who have learned that they can trust that we will do what we say we will, and that we do it in both a transparent and straightforward manner. db symmetry identifies, secures and promotes land with the potential for added value through the planning process. We combine a strategic hands-on planning approach with commercial insights firmly focused on value, deliverability and location. We produce commercial solutions which enable all parties to achieve appropriate returns within realistic timescales.
