Alchemy RE

Alchemy RE has been launched by Matthew Pullen (former CEO of Apo Group) and Nic Simpkin (former CFO of Berkeley Group) as an innovative new operating partner to real estate investors looking to grow their presence in the UK Living Sector. The company has been seeded with the £1bn development pipeline of Astir Living, the London-based developer founded by Nic in 2018. Our first project is an 850 bed PBSA scheme at Brent Cross, which will be followed by a mix of other Living Sector assets with a particular focus on co-living. Aside from working with Astir to bring forward its pipeline, we work with other developers, owners and investors to support their acquisition, design, development and operation of assets. Our highly-experienced team is focussed on optimising performance at every stage, maximising value and making deals work. In addition, we plan to monetise amenity spaces, building on our first co-working space in West Hampstead, which we operate under the brand Apex (www.apexcoworking.co.uk).
