New Digs and New Faces for Davis Coffer Lyons
April 16, 2025
Market-leading leisure and hospitality specialist Davis Coffer Lyons has made a double acquisition—expanding its highly-rated Valuations department and taking new offices.
The company has relocated from its historic home of more than 20 years, to newly-refurbished, modern space in Fitzrovia’s Market Place, W1. The team of specialist agents, advisors and valuers will be based at 9-10 Market Place, London W1W 8AQ.
The move represents a new era for the firm, which has been the leading advisor in the sector for over 50 years and continues to advise on high profile estates and instructions across the capital, for the likes of Shaftesbury Capital, Cadogan, British Land, Grosvenor and Westfield, as well as the best known operators across all categories.
Executive Director of Leasing Kate Taylor said “We cannot wait to settle into our new home. Portland Place was a wonderful home for the DCL family for many years but we recognized some time ago that the property was no longer in keeping with our modern culture and techniques. The new offices are in keeping with our collaborative and exciting working culture, as well as fittingly located in the heart of the West End’s eating and drinking pitches, and better placed for us to service our extended family—our clients!”
Alice McCusker joins the firm from Cushman & Wakefield, adding to the impressive ranks of the Valuation team, which is widely-regarded as the leading adviser of its kind in the Healthcare and Hospitality sectors. She brings with her a strong track record and experience, having specialised in care assets for several years.
DCL’s Executive Director of Valuations, Jonathan Wall, said: “We were very selective in who we wanted to join our team, as our reputation for first-rate service and our relationships with our clients are paramount. Alice shone as the most appropriate candidate and we are thrilled to welcome her on board. Her experience and knowledge in the sector, coupled with her unquestionable technical ability and approach, will ensure she is a great asset to our busy valuation team and significant care valuation work.”
