Hillwood Strengthens U.K. Industrial Real Estate Operations by Integrating Trebor Developments’ Team

Leading US-based Hillwood Investment Properties finalizes the addition of UK partner Trebor Developments into the Hillwood platform to enhance its multinational footprint.

Birmingham, UK & Dallas, USA—10/31/24 Hillwood, a leading U.S.-based developer and investor in industrial real estate has expanded its U.K. operational capabilities by integrating the team and project portfolio of Trebor Developments. This strategic move allows Hillwood to enhance its U.K. presence, drawing upon Trebor’s established expertise and a robust pipeline of future pursuits.

By incorporating Trebor’s skilled team, Hillwood aims to maximize efficiencies and enhance its value to customers and investors. Its reinforced focus on expanding sustainable logistics developments in the U.K. aligns with its broader growth strategy.

While the Hillwood/Trebor team will focus on areas outside the Southeast of the U.K., Hillwood will maintain our strong relationship with Goya in the Southeast, where several speculative development sites are coming forward soon.

Trebor Developments and Hillwood have enjoyed a successful partnership since 2018, jointly developing millions of square feet of advanced accommodation across the U.K. This longstanding collaboration has built a solid foundation for continued success and growth, with both companies sharing a vision for excellence in industrial real estate. With the integration, the Trebor team will continue to operate from its Birmingham base, closely collaborating with Hillwood’s London and U.S. teams to ensure the continued delivery of superior space.

Bob Tattrie, Managing Partner of Trebor, expressed enthusiasm for this next chapter: “I am delighted to have reached this milestone, which serves as a springboard for our expansion in the U.K. industrial and logistics markets. The Trebor team and I are excited to join Hillwood’s global operations, leading the pursuit and delivery of quality industrial developments. Our close working relationship over the last six years has set a strong foundation for future opportunities.”
