Realis Estates was founded by Duncan Mathieson in 2006 following 13 very successful years working in retail development in London for Highland Developments.
The team is based out of central Birmingham. Duncan leads the team, overseeing all existing projects whilst always on the lookout for new and exciting opportunities to add to the existing diverse portfolio.
From the inception of Realis Estates we have gone on to achieve great success through our hard work ethic and ability to work closely with our professional team. Our dynamic set up allows us to make swift clear and well thought through decisions, which has undoubtedly been key to our success.
Realis Estates specialise in retail and leisure developments in and out of town with schemes ranging in size from £3m to £250m in locations from Belfast to the West, Hull to the East, Edinburgh to the North and Salisbury to the South. We are passionate about what we do and are open for business throughout the UK.
John Bywater, ex Managing Director of Hammerson has joined the team as a Non Executive Director. His reputation and experience, particularly in the retail sector, is of great benefit to the company. John’s decision to join the Realis Estates board highlights our credentials and our commitment to bringing forward exciting retail developments.
Realis Estates have also added to the team with Robert Taylor and Mark Worsfold. Robert will work with Realis’ managing director Duncan Mathieson to provide strategic advice across the company’s portfolio of retail assets, including the £350 million City Sentral development in Stoke-on-Trent, which will see a new regional shopping and leisure centre. He will also be actively seeking new retail development and investment opportunities for Realis throughout the UK.
Mark joined Realis at the beginning of 2010 as an internal Project Manager to provide project management support for Realis schemes including the City Sentral development. Previously, as a Director at Gardiner & Theobald, he had overseen for Realis the successful progression of the Stoke-on-Trent scheme from outline concept to planning approval in less than 18 months.
