The business focus is on large mixed-use schemes, including care, residential, and hotels, through to the redevelopment of standalone convenience food retail stores for occupiers such as M&S Food Hall, Aldi, Sainsburys, Lidl and Waitrose, and smaller standalone roadside PFS, EV charging hubs, drive-thru and pod units.
Established by Mark Rothery in 2012, Rothstone is a Yorkshire-based property developer. Rothstone has a proven track record of development and asset management across the UK, and are one of the most active developers in the food store and roadside sectors.
All our developments are built to a high specification with environmental sustainability and energy-efficiency in mind. We often pursue BREEAM, EPC and Secured By Design accreditation as standard for our sites. While our obligations under Environmental Social Governance (ESG) are at the forefront of every business decision made by Rothstone, our team, suppliers, partners and investors. We are actively involved in delivering over 200 electric vehicle charging points across our development portfolio, and continue to be both socially conscious and proactive as a company to safeguard the environment.
Rothstone is funded through two high-net-worth private companies Peveril Securities, who are a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bowmer and Kirkland and MarshallCDP, and LondonMetric Property PLC (LMP), a leading UK based FTSE 100 real estate investment trust. As such Rothstone has no recourse for third party or bank finance. Typically, we take a 3 – 5 year view on a development project and have access to substantial funds for suitable projects via our key partners.
