We’re launching a specialist REIT to give investors clear, confidence-inspiring access to early-stage life-science funding. By pooling capital from our property acquisitions, this vehicle will channel the majority of its proceeds into building a Class II laboratory in the Midlands. At the same time, the REIT underwrites a mission-driven project that slashes cancer diagnostic turnaround times, strengthens employment in the regional pathology workforce, and eases pressure on the NHS—all delivered through a transparent, regulated structure with robust governance and liquidity. This REIT will serve as the cornerstone of our life-science initiative.

This REIT is part of a large-scale project designed to serve the public interest; as such, it represents our inaugural step.

As the acquisitions are increased more Roles will be available.
