About Us
Argyle has built our reputation of quality, honesty and success over 30 years in the commercial property industry.
Nigel Powell founded Argyle in 1992 and the business has steadily grown to include a team of twelve people. From our inception, Argyle has been focused on the development of quality commercial assets, working with tenants to deliver bespoke property outcomes to meet their needs. Our work has spanned all sectors of property, from medical and retail to industrial and office.
In 2017, Argyle identified an opportunity to use our unique skillset in property development and as landlords ourselves, to offer premium asset management services to other landlords. We aim to differentiate ourselves from other property managers, as we treat every property like we own it, and endeavour to apply our expertise to ensure that we are maximizing value.
Our business now runs seamlessly between undertaking our own development projects and providing asset management services, with our team sharing resources and market intelligence to continue to deliver exceptional outcomes.
