About Lime Property Ventures

About Lime Property Ventures

Lime Property Ventures’ purpose is to develop homes and generate profit for reinvestment in the work of the Elim Housing Group.

Lime Property Ventures is a professional developer, established in 2016 to undertake activity in the property market and generate profit for growth and reinvestment in the work of the Elim Housing Group.

Lime Property Venture’s first project comprised the development of Hathaway House, 25 units of student accommodation in the centre of Bristol. LPV has retained this property in its portfolio, generating an annual rental return.

In 2017 Lime Property Ventures secured new borrowing arrangements to facilitate its development programme. The company has since achieved planning permission for a number of small developments and realised the sale of land and new homes on the open market.

In 2021 Lime Property Ventures worked as a joint venture partner with a small housebuilder to purchase and develop a new site, delivering well designed, high quality family homes for sale as part of an exclusive four home scheme in South Gloucestershire.

Based just north of Bristol, Lime Property Ventures has flexibility to work across a wide geographical area, with a focus on smaller urban areas alongside the Gloucester to Taunton M5 corridor.

The company currently has live development sites in South Gloucestershire and Wells, Somerset.

 

Lime Property Ventures has three strategic priorities:

Sustainable Growth

To maintain an effective land strategy, that enables us to secure and progress the development sites we need to deliver growth in a sustained and timely manner.

Trusted Partnerships

To establish and maintain a trusted and motivated network of expert build and development partners that enables us to deliver high quality homes within a competitive cost base.

Financial Return

To maintain the business at its optimum scale, and to produce financial returns that generate a targeted operating profit for the growth of Lime Property Ventures and the benefit of the Elim Group.

Lime Property Ventures has a focused and driven team with a wealth of management and financial experience gained in housing and development services and other sectors. We have the expertise to manage the key aspects of project delivery including; land and property acquisition, innovative design solutions, efficient construction project management, and effective marketing.
