Bourne Capital is an integrated property investment and leisure group in the UK.
Bourne Capital was founded in 1989 by Robert Bourne. Bourne was previously co-founder of Local London Group (LLG), the then market leader in the London serviced office sector. The company went public in 1986, and was sold three years later for £120 million.
Bourne Capital’s ethos was based on the same formula as LLG, i.e. to generate enhanced revenues from property investments through active management and innovative marketing, however, the new company’s business model was to develop and extend this concept much further.
The company’s main activities are focused on their ownership and active management of four major London estates situated in Queensway, Waterloo, Chinatown and Islington. Within each of the estates the company has created high profile leisure businesses which enhance the general area, provide facilities for local businesses, tenants and residents, and, importantly, attract footfall from outside each estate. This innovative approach has resulted in its properties being fully let, and revenues being significantly higher than could normally be achieved by traditional property investment companies. The company currently has assets of £250 million.
Queensway
Bourne Capital’s Queensway Estate comprises 163,000 square feet (15,100 m2) comprising retail units, 214 apartments, a six level car park for 320 cars, Queens Ice and Bowl and Queensway Market.
Waterloo
The Waterloo Estate comprises 163,000 square feet (15,100 m2) with significant properties on the island site opposite the train and underground stations. It includes offices, serviced offices, retail shops and the Old Vic Theatre and Waterloo Brasserie; the latter are both managed by the group. Bourne Capital is planning to redevelop part of the Waterloo estate to create central London’s only world-class, 10,000-seat auditorium and conference centre.
Chinatown
Bourne Capital’s Chinatown estate comprises 67,000 square feet (6,200 m2) or approximately 60% of Chinatown and includes the Newport Sandringham development, Chinatown Zone, Chinatown Market and Geisha Bar, owned and managed by the group.
