Acquisition of 11-15 Arlington Street in St James's, SW1
April 2012
The Smedvig family of Norway have successfully acquired a prime development site for just in excess of £20m on Arlington Street in St James’s, SW1 with Bill and Douglas Higgins’s London & Aberdeen Group acting on their behalf. 11-15 Arlington Street is going to be developed out by London & Aberdeen partly for Smedvig’s own occupation, in addition to five luxury, lateral apartments. Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac 50 m from The Ritz Hotel, opposite Le Caprice and bordering Green Park, this exclusive location has proved to be extremely desirable offering a peaceful street in the heart of the West End and prime St James’s.
The eventual £37m scheme was acquired from Newthorn Properties Ltd and the Irish Government agency, NAMA. Savills acted on behalf of Newthorn/NAMA.

"Innovation and Integrity"
About Us
The Higgins family have been active in the UK real estate market for over thirty years.
The London & Aberdeen Group is the holding company for some of the Higgins family real estate ventures which run alongside and are complementary to a number of other entities including HPM (Higgins Project Management) and Natalia Design (interior design).
Track Record:
Over thirty years experience with an unblemished and excellent track record in most aspects of UK real estate.
Please see the Projects section for details.
Expertise:
Planning and development expertise where we invest time, effort and money with innovation and apply the best team for each project.
New Business:
We are now seeking buildings, sites, companies and opportunities to invest in or re-finance and reconstruct. In addition, we are seeking to acquire from banks packages of loans secured on real estate which have some medium term potential. We have experience of successful transactions with Barclays as the lead bank and reconstructing troubled companies.
We have long established good relations with ongoing business associates, investors, and professionals including many banks, lawyers and agents. We will give confidential responses almost immediately to any enquiries on new business. We are not interested in dry, 'plain vanilla' investments or just ‘buying the market’.
The London & Aberdeen Group is in a fortunate position of having no financial problems or hangovers from the last cycle, as we read it well and successfully sold completed projects and companies. We are ready for this next cycle and equity funds are available for new projects from £5 million up to £100 million plus, with partners.
Now with stretched public finances and some banks still in difficulties, even greater expertise is needed to take advantage and profit from the evolving real estate market. The timing, location, product, vehicle, financing and innovation are even more critical in this volatile cycle.
We have a highly motivated family team with many expert and trusted associates to grow the business further.
