Our mission is to help developers succeed faster, with less risk, higher profits and greater clarity
Clear, director-led insight that simplifies complexity.
Focused, accountable delivery that drives results.
Sustainable decision-making that protects long-term value.
Revive Real was created to give developers and funding partners something the industry increasingly lacks: clear thinking, senior leadership and commercially grounded delivery in a market full of uncertainty. After decades leading major regeneration and mixed-use projects across the UK, Matt Walton and John English saw the same issues repeated across countless schemes — stalled sites, unclear strategies, fragmented teams, slow decisions, rising costs and planning gridlock.
Developers needed more than reports, advice or frameworks. They needed experienced people who could step in, simplify complexity, build alignment, reset viability and drive projects forward with discipline. Revive Real was founded to meet that need.
We bring director-level insight, hands-on leadership and a partnership approach to every project. Our goal is simple: unlock value, accelerate progress and help create places that deliver long-term social, environmental and economic impact.
Revive Real exists to turn complex sites into deliverable, resilient and successful places.
Rising build costs, slower values, planning delays and a deepening housing crisis are putting real strain on viability. Revive Real helps you navigate these pressures with clear, commercially grounded strategies that keep projects deliverable and moving forward.
We give you clarity, direction and commercially realistic pathways to progress.
We help protect viability through robust feasibility work, flexible delivery strategies and smarter funding approaches. We manage rising costs through design efficiencies and early contractor insight. We strengthen planning outcomes, realign over-valued sites, navigate volatility and position schemes to meet real housing need.
We identify opportunities, unlock constraints and drive projects towards deliverable outcomes.
We build a clear understanding of the site, its context and its commercial reality through strategic analysis, planning diagnostics and risk mapping. This forms a grounded, evidence-based baseline for decision-making.
We shape the strategy: clarifying the delivery route, strengthening viability, identifying value opportunities and assembling the right consultant team to match the project’s needs. This is where direction, structure and confidence are established.
We lead coordination, manage stakeholders, maintain momentum and provide disciplined programme oversight — ensuring accountability, clarity and consistent progress throughout the project.
We remain hands-on through planning, procurement and delivery stages, protecting commercial goals and ensuring that outcomes are high-quality, viable and resilient.
