Distrkt was founded by Camilla Topham and Michael Webb five years ago and focuses on working strategically with landlords on their developments and estates both in the capital and elsewhere in the UK.
Taylor and Hume have specialised in London retail and F&B for the past two decades and will lead the newly formed Distrkt Lease Consultancy. This will provide a bespoke service to some of the most prestigious Estates in Central London.
Together, the firm will have a client base which includes Shaftesbury Capital, Derwent London, MARK, CBRE Investment Management, Savills IM, St Martins, Almacantar, Gascoyne Holdings and The Mercers Company. Distrkt has also been recently appointed on Lendlease’s 50-acre Silvertown project in East London.
Camilla Topham comments: “Joining forces with Dan and Will takes us to the next level of growth and their lease expertise perfectly complements our expanding agency team.
“The move is a very good fit both from the perspective of our mutual client bases and also the specialisms that we offer.”
Dan Taylor comments: “We’ve seen a tremendous recent resurgence in London’s restaurant, bar and hospitality sector. In that context, it’s more important than ever for landlords to have advisers working collaboratively across the leasing and lease advisory disciplines and who also have access to the latest market data.
“Our abilities in these areas and expertise as trusted advisers have created a very powerful consultancy for the London property market.”
