Kori Developments

Kori Developments is dedicated to identifying, financing, and promoting high-quality later living opportunities across England. Working hand-in-hand with our sister company Kori Construction, we help address the growing need for care infrastructure by selecting sites with strong local demand and enabling the delivery of new purpose-built homes for an aging population.

Our Development
Process

At Kori Developments, we make selling or introducing land simple. We act quickly, communicate clearly and work in a way that protects the landowner’s position while giving us the time needed to secure planning.

Our aim is to provide competitive offers, move at pace and treat every site with professionalism from first discussion to completion.

STEP 01

Initial Review

Share the site address and basic details and we'll provide fast, no-obligation feedback on planning potential and suitability.

STEP 02

Clear Proposal

If the site works, we issue a straightforward offer. Most deals are structured via exclusivity followed by an option agreement, so you are protected while we progress planning.

STEP 03

Planning & Design Work

We handle all surveys, design development and engagement with the local authority utilising our in-house design and planning expertise.

STEP 04

Planning Decision

Once planning permission is secured, or an acceptable alternative route is agreed, we move to purchase the site at the price agreed upfront.

STEP 05

Site Delivery

Kori Construction then takes the project forward, giving certainty that the scheme will be built to a high standard.
