Octopus Real Estate

Octopus Real Estate was created in May 2019 when Octopus Group merged its Octopus Healthcare and Octopus Property businesses. It operates as part of Octopus Investments, the wider Octopus Group investment platform founded in 2000.

The firm invests in real estate and provides secured lending across residential, commercial and development property. Its lending activities include bridging, term and development finance, while its investment business focuses particularly on healthcare real estate, retirement communities and affordable housing.

Its strongest specialist areas are healthcare and living-sector real estate, alongside flexible non-bank property lending. The business is notable for combining investment and lending capabilities with an emphasis on housing supply, ageing-population needs and energy-efficient development.
