LONDON, Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- H.I.G. Capital ("H.I.G."), a leading global alternative investment firm with $66 billion of capital under management, is pleased to announce that one of its affiliates has invested in an off-market transaction to acquire a strategic land plot in Southwark, London. The transaction is the second joint venture with HUB Residential, a leading UK residential developer.

The site is the final asset in a 10-acre regeneration project at Elephant Park.

When fully completed, the site will deliver a professionally managed, sustainable, mixed-use scheme that features best-in-class onsite amenity provisions, ESG credentials, and much-needed affordable housing to the community. Riccardo Dallolio, Managing Director and Head of H.I.G. Realty in Europe, commented, "The London residential market continues to benefit from strong fundamentals. We are committed to growing this platform and are proud to invest in quality locations that provide private and affordable housing to the city."
