Award-winning investors
and operators of iconic buildings
Kinrise is an award-winning investment company, established in 2015, managing funds and joint ventures. The team specialise in transforming iconic buildings into unique workplaces.
We invest in buildings in leading UK cities to create outstanding places to work. Our buildings offer long-term, headquarter offices, studios for smaller teams, restaurants and spaces for meetings, events and the Kinrise cultural programme.
Our Story
Kinrise was started by co-founders Samuel Lawson Johnston and George Aberdeen in 2015.
Why the name Kinrise? In short it translates as community rising. Our vision is to play our part in the renewal of UK cities by creating spaces where companies and their people grow.
We look at the world through four lenses; human, social, environmental and financial. These perspectives drive our approach to our renovations, partnerships and activities across our portfolio.
Our approach to restoration
We specialise in acquiring and renovating existing buildings, rather than developing new ones, so our process for projects is built around restoration and returning buildings to their former glory with a real focus on natural light, subtleties of design and attention to detail.
Our intent is to reveal character and restore the original features, while also ensuring that we are creating modern flexible workspaces designed to stimulate collaboration and interaction.
