Jimmy Wheeler

Jimmy is a London based Principal Associate specialising in complex real estate development, regeneration and operational living sector transactions. He advises developers, institutional investors, private equity investors, funders, joint venture partners and public sector bodies on some of the UK's most significant Build-to-Rent (BTR), Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA), co-living, single-family rental and mixed-use regeneration projects.

His practice spans the full lifecycle of development projects, including site acquisition and disposal, development structuring, joint ventures, forward funding, development financing and delivery. He is particularly experienced in acting on large-scale living sector platforms and regeneration schemes where multiple stakeholders, funding structures and delivery partners must be aligned to unlock value and bring projects forward.

Jimmy has advised on transactions representing several billion pounds of development value and works closely with clients to structure investments, navigate development risk and execute transactions that support the successful delivery of major residential-led and mixed-use schemes across the UK.
