With a background in Building Engineering and Management, he ventured into various businesses and income streams before realizing the potential of commercial development. He is based in the central belt and east coast of Scotland. In this episode, we delve into Jerry's first large-scale commercial project, which, unlike many people who choose the commercial-to-residential strategy, was a commercial project redeveloped to remain as commercial. Jerry talks about how this deal has withstood the test of time over the last 14+ years and why he continues to seek similar opportunities where the multi-let approach of dividing one building de-risks the strategy amidst changing markets over time.
