Rioja Developments Ltd

• Managing Director

  • Jan 1998 - May 2019

  Since its inception in 1998, Rioja Developments has established itself as a leading specialist retail development and leasing company, focused primarily in the UK and Europe. The company has undertaken pre-let developments with selected occupiers and has honed its skills by adding value through site development, management, leasing and asset management. It has extensive experience in both non-food and food retail markets both in town and out of town, throughout Europe. Rioja Developments continues to work closely with prominent developers, banks, financial institutions and retailers in working up joint venture retail and mixed use schemes from inception through to completion, including: • Factory outlet schemes • Supermarket developments • Mixed use in-town schemes • Edge-of-town retail parks. Projects have been successfully completed throughout the UK, Europe and Eastern Europe involving leading retailers such as IKEA, Wickes, B&Q, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morrisons and Waitrose, and covering all the stages of development from site identification through to store opening. Managing Director Giles Membrey works closely both with his own team and external consultants: together they provide strength in depth, harnessing a wide and varied range of expertise and experience throughout the commercial property market but very much focused on retail led, mixed use development schemes.
