Built on Conviction.
Not Speculation.
For over two decades, Elipsis has operated with a single guiding principle: acquire exceptional assets, manage them with precision, and hold them with patience.
Two Decades of Discipline.
Foundation
James Elliot-Carr establishes Elipsis with an initial portfolio of three Chelsea properties and a conviction that patient capital would outperform speculative returns.
First Commercial Acquisition
Elipsis completes its first Grade A commercial acquisition in the City of London, establishing the firm's dual residential-commercial thesis.
Crisis Navigation
While peers retrenched, Elipsis maintained full occupancy across its portfolio through the global financial crisis — zero defaults, zero forced sales.
Kensington Court
The Kensington Court acquisition marks Elipsis's entry into ultra-prime residential — a category that would define the firm's next decade.
£1 Billion Milestone
Elipsis crosses £1 billion in assets under management, prompting the launch of a dedicated institutional advisory practice.
European Expansion
The firm opens its first continental European office in Amsterdam, extending the Elipsis investment thesis to select European gateway cities.
Present Day
Elipsis manages £2.4 billion across 180+ assets in 12 cities, with a team of 84 professionals and a pipeline of £600M in active acquisitions.
Our Values
Patience Over Speculation
We hold assets for the long term. Our average holding period exceeds 11 years — a deliberate strategy that compounds value and protects against market volatility.
Rigorous Due Diligence
Every acquisition undergoes a 90-day due diligence process across legal, structural, environmental, and market dimensions before any capital is committed.
Tenant-First Management
We believe that exceptional tenants are the foundation of sustainable returns. Our property management team maintains a 96% tenant retention rate.
Thoughtful Development
When we develop, we build for the next 50 years — not the next sale. Sustainability, craftsmanship, and community impact guide every development decision.
