Castleforge

Founded in 2010 and headquartered in London, Castleforge invests in UK and European real estate on behalf of pension funds, institutions and individuals. Its activity spans office, residential and hotel assets, with a focus on acquiring or developing properties where active management can create value.

Castleforge uses a vertically integrated, “full-stack” model covering research, underwriting, fund and portfolio management, development, asset management and operations. This gives the firm direct control over investment execution and property-level improvements rather than relying solely on external operators.

Its distinctive strengths are office repositioning and operational platforms. Clockwise provides flexible workspace in regional UK and European cities, while Ocasa manages mid-market residential properties; the firm also targets sustainability-led refurbishment, adaptive reuse and improved tenant experience.
