Secure Trust Bank (STB) Real Estate Finance is proud to celebrate its 10-year anniversary, marking a decade of significant achievements and growth in the real estate finance sector.
Part of the wider STB Group, STB Real Estate Finance's first loan was written in March 2014, and since then, it has achieved several remarkable milestones, with many of the deals it has made having a significant impact on local communities and the regeneration of brownfield sites.
Notable deals and schemes that the bank has funded include a £35m residential property investment deal for Milton Keynes' Station House, a former office building above Milton Keynes Central Station that was transformed into 200 vibrant apartments across four floors. The property finance lender was also instrumental in bringing the Lace Market Quarter Apartments development in Nottingham to life through its bespoke development to investment loan. Made up of new build and refurbished listed buildings, the scheme reached completion in May this year.
Commenting on the anniversary, John Griffin, Regional Head said: "We are so incredibly proud to have reached such an important marker in our history. Since the division started, we've gone from strength to strength, and now lend against many different types of assets, working with high profile clients and brokers.
"It is all thanks to the hard work, knowledge, experience, and commitment of our team and that has got us to where we are today. We pride ourselves on building trust and longstanding relationships with developers, investors, and our professional partners, structuring the right deals, often in very time-sensitive conditions, to ensure their schemes can come to life."
STB Real Estate Finance is also a specialist in student accommodation investment finance and build-to-rent finance. The regeneration of Stead's Place in Edinburgh from an industrial estate to a collection of 110 one, two, and three-bedroom flats is a standout example of the latter and how the bank supports this sector of real estate.
Matthew-Blaine Young, Head of Origination at STB Real Estate Finance, added: "We remain committed to providing industry expertise and financial support to help clients realise their property ambitions. From family homes to mixed-use schemes and student accommodation, the team supports property development and investment projects across the UK.
"As we celebrate this milestone, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our clients, partners, and dedicated team members who have been instrumental in our success. We look forward to continuing our journey and hitting new heights in the years to come."
