About Ciconia

Ciconia is a UK-focused real estate developer with a clear purpose. We specialise in medium-sized new-build and redevelopment projects, carefully selected for their potential to deliver strong financial returns and lasting value. By choosing quality over quantity, we develop energy-efficient, future-proof homes that respect history while meeting modern living standards — creating impact that goes beyond the balance sheet.

Real estate that goes beyond returns

Ciconia develops real estate with purpose. We were founded on the belief that real estate development should be about more than numbers and short-term returns. Where others see obstacles, we see opportunities, to breathe new life into buildings, create sustainable homes and deliver lasting value for people, communities and investors.

We transform capital into tangible real estate projects that strengthen the UK housing market. Every development is a step towards a more sustainable, future-proof built environment, with impact that goes beyond the balance sheet.
