Tri7

Tri7 is a specialist real estate investment and asset management company focusing on commercial properties in the UK. Founded in 2021 by Alex Bowman, a former partner at Stone Real Estate, and Nigel Henry of James Andrew International, the firm combines extensive experience in real estate investment, asset management, and occupational agency. Alex Bowman has over 25 years of experience in the UK commercial real estate market, having been involved in transactions totaling over £2 billion. Nigel Henry also brings over 25 years of experience, specializing in advising funds, property companies, and family offices.

The company's business model centers on acquiring, repositioning, and managing commercial real estate assets, often in partnership with institutional investors and family offices. Tri7 targets properties with potential for value enhancement through active asset management, such as redevelopment, lease restructuring, or change of use. They have a particular focus on town-center retail and office spaces that can be repurposed, for instance, converting retail units into leisure facilities or offices into residential spaces. One notable project is the transformation of The Core shopping centre in Leeds, where they are redeveloping the upper floors into a boutique hotel.

Tri7 works with a variety of partners, including private equity firms like Alchemy Special Opportunities, with whom they have a £100 million joint venture to acquire and reposition value-add retail and mixed-use assets across the UK. This approach allows them to undertake significant regeneration projects and adapt to changing market demands, such as the post-pandemic shift in how high streets and commercial spaces are utilized.
