About Us

Blue Coast Capital boasts a 35-year track record of successful investments in the United States and currently manages a diverse portfolio of private and public assets.

 

The firm specializes in real estate leasing, development services, and business advisory related to acquisitions, either independently or through joint venture partnerships. The company’s origins trace back to post-war retailing, with its founders being behind the iconic 1960s retailer Chelsea Girl, which later evolved into River Island. As their business portfolio expanded to include real estate, private equity, hotels & leisure, and other consumer-driven ventures, Blue Coast Capital eventually became a distinct entity from River Island.

 

With a legacy spanning over 50 years, it remains privately owned, leveraging its financial strength to make decisions based on unique opportunities and long-term trends. Today, the Blue Coast team sources, owns, and operates a wide range of private and public assets from its headquarters in London, with additional offices across Europe and the United States.
