We pride ourselves on leveraging our cutting-edge marketing solutions and market-defining transaction strategies. We combine fierce creativity, storytelling, and a 360-investment strategy to ignite interest and drive transaction success across relevant channels.

We have worked with high-profile clients such as BlackRock, Hermes, CBREGI, and Aberdeen Standard.

Harris Associates have been involved in numerous successful transactions and projects. One notable example is the £1.5 billion joint venture between Fusion Students and Cain International, which was the largest PBSA transaction in 2022. We have also undertaken over £1 billion of UK PBSA assets.

With over 20 years of combined experience, our team possesses a strong reputation, strategic partnerships, and multi-sector experience required to deliver the best possible outcome for our clients. We have in-depth knowledge of both buy and sell-side transactions, and our track record includes advising on property transactions over £15 billion globally.
