When evaluating the strength of a property portfolio, the ability to identify undervalued commercial assets and transform them into high-demand residential spaces is a hallmark of expertise.
Amicus House, situated on Eccleston Street in St Helens (WA10), stands as a premier example of this strategy in action.
Completed in January 2020, this development represents a sophisticated transition from industrial utility to contemporary urban living. What was once a former plumbing supply store has been meticulously reimagined as a sleek residential complex comprising nine bespoke flats.
Asset Type: Commercial-to-Residential Conversion
Location: Eccleston Street, St Helens, WA10
Timeline: January 2019 – January 2020
Scope: Conversion of a plumbing supply store into 9 luxury flats
Current Status: Completed & Fully Tenanted
From Commercial Shell to Tenanted Asset
The journey of Amicus House began in January 2019. Over the course of twelve months, the site underwent an ambitious conversion, focused on maximising floor plates and integrating modern architectural finishes.
Today, the project is a fully stabilised, tenanted asset. It serves not only as a vibrant addition to the St Helens housing market but as a testament to our commitment to delivering projects on schedule and to an impeccable standard.
For the modern resident, it offers sophisticated, well-crafted living; for our partners, it represents a proven track record of delivery.
The Power of Private Investment
Success stories like Amicus House are made possible through strategic capital. At DBR Investment Group, we believe that the most rewarding property ventures are built on the foundation of strong private partnerships.
The UK property market remains one of the most resilient asset classes globally. However, accessing the best returns requires more than just capital, it requires the "boots on the ground" expertise to navigate planning, construction, and asset management. We offer private investors the opportunity to fund high-calibre projects, providing a vehicle for capital growth that is secured against tangible, bricks-and-mortar assets.
