Crispin Kelly is a man on a mission: to prove that superb architecture is a vital part of commercial real estate development. Since launching Baylight Properties 30 years ago, he’s focused on multifamily and office developments in central London. But an enthusiasm for suburban living has also seen him develop housing in suburban areas of England. Outside of his commercial work, Crispin champions the importance of architecture through his charity, the Baylight Foundation. He also chairs Open City and the Trustee Board at the London School of Architecture. But while Crispin often talks publically about architecture, he rarely discusses the commercial aspects of his operation. In today’s episode, he does just that. Listen now and you’ll discover: why he prefers to buy and hold (rather than sell) his completed properties. Where he finds his properties. How he closes deals. How he funds his developments. Where he sources finance. How he manages his properties. What profit margin he targets. And MUCH more…

Crispin Kelly: Baylight Properties’ founder on developing commercial real estate in London

In this episode we are joined by the Developer, Historian and Architect Crispin Kelly. Crispin is a developer with a deep understanding of architecture, most evidenced by his studies at the AA, but more pertinently by the space he has made for thoughtful work in the risky and contested world of private development.  His willingness to personally back talented architects in the making of small and medium scale work gives him an insight into our discipline tempered by the contingencies of economics and return. Most recently he has been working with Peter Salter on the housing complex at Walmer Yard, Peters first built work in many years. In this interview he discusses his education, and career.  He shares his thoughts on housing, profit, and affordability.  Along the way he gives a detailed insight into what it was like working with his former teacher Peter Salter.
