Specialist real estate finance provider Maslow Capital has provided a £122 million development finance facility to Definition Capital, supporting the delivery of a major mixed-use regeneration scheme in Abbey Wood, South-East London. Introduced by debt advisor Mantra Commercial, the financing package underpins a 487-unit co-living scheme, a 110-key hotel, and a new pet hospital — supporting new homes and services in a growth location.
The scheme, located on Eynsham Drive within walking distance of Abbey Wood Station and the Elizabeth line, will comprise four blocks ranging from 3–17 storeys. It will deliver co-living units supported by shared resident amenities such as lounges and workspaces, alongside a new 110-room hotel. The PDSA Pet Hospital will also be re-provided on site.
The project is expected to contribute to the ongoing regeneration of Abbey Wood and Thamesmead, an area identified as an Opportunity Area with capacity for 8,000 new homes and 4,000 jobs.
Irfan Hussain, Director at Definition Capital commented:
“We are pleased to bring forward this ambitious mixed-use scheme for Abbey Wood, combining well-managed rental homes, a high-quality hotel, and community facilities on a single site. As a repeat client, we were pleased to partner with Maslow Capital again; their clarity, pace, and depth of experience, working alongside our debt adviser, Mantra Commercial, helped us navigate a complex structure and move decisively to completion. We look forward to delivering a scheme that adds lasting value to the area with their continued support.”
Rachael Gordon, Head of Deal Execution (UK & Europe) at Maslow Capital, commented:
“London’s professionally managed rental stock remains constrained relative to demand, particularly in well-connected locations. This scheme adds much-needed capacity with the right specification and amenities, positioning it well for lease-up and long-term operational resilience. Together with Mantra Commercial, we have created a bespoke finance package that protects all parties to the deal against changes in the financial and development landscape, while also reducing paperwork and administrative time. Importantly, it is a package that helps deliver living spaces for people who need a place to live in a thriving part of London.”
