Premium office expansion Helical is actively expanding its UK and European office footprint, delivering best-in-class schemes such as the 195,000 sq ft City of London project at 100 New Bridge Street. This signals ongoing demand for high-quality, design-led spaces and presents opportunities to offer construction, fit-out, sustainability consulting, and facilities management services to scale their portfolio.
Joint venture readiness With a strong track record in joint venture structuring and partnerships, Helical frequently collaborates with external groups including Orion Capital Managers and Places for London. This creates openings for BD teams to propose coordinated development, equity structuring, and financing solutions, as well as advisory services for joint venture governance.
Sustainable design emphasis Helical positions itself around design-led, sustainable spaces. This creates demand for sustainability consulting, energy modeling, retrofitting, and green certification support to enhance asset value across current and upcoming schemes in central London and beyond.
Capital efficiency strategy Recent financing activity, including a £220 million development facility with PIMCO, indicates a focus on capital efficiency and delivery risk management. Sales opportunities exist for financial services, project financing advisory, and lifecycle cost optimization to accelerate project timelines.
Leadership transition Recent leadership change with the chair role shifting to Robert Fowlds suggests a window for relationship-building with executive sponsors and procurement of strategic advisory, governance, and enterprise-level services to align with the new leadership's priorities.
