db symmetry was formed as a UK joint venture through the purchase of a 60% holding in Barwood Developments Limited by clients advised by Delancey; a specialist real estate investment, development and advisory company. The remaining 40% shareholding is controlled by the executive management team.

The company has a land portfolio comprising 3,100 acres, with over 1,000 acres / 15.4m sq ft consented for logistics use, and a further 2,074 acres being promoted through the planning process for Logistics use.

The portfolio is extremely well located, concentrated around the main motorway arteries of the UK and primarily around the ‘Golden Triangle’ of the M1 and M40.

db symmetry has one of the most active speculative development programmes in the country, with 6 buildings totalling over 800,000 sq ft over 5 sites under construction, all due for completion in 2017/18. Built to an institutional specification, all our speculative developments can be fitted out to meet occupiers’ individual requirements.
