About Us
Argyle has built a reputation for quality, integrity, and success over 30 years in the commercial property industry.
Founded by Nigel Powell in 1992, Argyle has steadily grown into a team of twelve. From the beginning, our focus has been on developing high-quality commercial assets and working closely with tenants to deliver bespoke property solutions tailored to their needs. Our work spans across all property sectors, including medical, retail, industrial, and office.
In 2017, we saw an opportunity to leverage our expertise in property development—and our perspective as landlords—to offer premium asset management services to other property owners. What sets us apart is our ownership mindset; we treat every property as if it were our own, applying our deep industry knowledge to maximise value.
Today, our business seamlessly integrates development and asset management, with our team sharing resources and market intelligence to consistently deliver outstanding results.
