Dominus is a privately owned company focused on investing in, developing and operating high-quality real estate assets, across hotels, PBSA and other living sectors in London and across the United Kingdom. Founded in 2011, we have grown into a market-leading real estate platform with assets under management of more than £3 billion. We are an end-to-end business with capabilities spanning investment, design, planning, development and asset management. We invest on behalf of our own balance sheet and also in joint venture with institutional and private equity investment partners. Our current portfolio spans operational hotels across London and in Oxford and Bath and new hotel and PBSA developments in London. We have strong growth ambitions and are continuously actively underwriting new opportunities. Our differentiation stems from our ability to approach each project individually, identify the optimal strategy to maximise value and then execute it from acquisition through to development and operating the finished product. We combine a highly knowledgeable team with trusted partnerships, and in doing so have built a strong reputation throughout the industry.
