JTRE London is an integrated investor-developer-contactor founded in September 2019 by one of Central Europe’s leading property developers JTRE, based in Slovakia. JTRE entered the UK real estate market in 2018 having acquired its first Prime Central London asset for development on the South Bank, the £450m mixed use scheme, Triptych Bankside. As part of its flagship development, Triptych Bankside, JTRE London has contributed over £1.5m to the delivery of a new campus for Art Academy London at Triptych Bankside. Appleby Blue on Southwark Park Road, a project in partnership with United St. Saviour’s Charity is JTRE London’s second project. Designed by Stirling Prize-winning architects, Witherford, Watson and Mann, Appleby Blue is a new Almshouse consisting of 57 new homes and community space. JTRE London recently acquired 220 Blackfriars Road, its third project which is in partnership with Southwark Charities. Once completed, the new mixed-use scheme will provide two towers set amongst attractive gardens and landscaping, representing the tallest and highest value scheme to be developed in SE1 in recent years. The development of the site and creation of the new office building will help facilitate the construction of the new almshouse. Founded in 1996, JTRE now has over 300 employees and broad experience developing and managing a wide range of real estate projects in nine countries, mainly in Central and Eastern Europe, totalling over 10 million sq ft with a GDV of over €2.3bn. JTRE London has a strong track record of unlocking complex sites for development. Coupled with its partnership-led approach to structuring deals, JTRE London is well placed to tackle development projects which others might overlook.
