Maslow Capital’s Industry Awards for Development Finance, Bridging and Alternative Lending

Maslow Capital has won ten industry awards since 2019 for development finance, bridging finance and alternative lending. The most recent is Alternative Lender of the Year: UK at the Real Estate Capital Europe Awards 2025, announced in March 2026.

The awards come from five separate organisers and are decided in different ways. Some are chosen by editorial teams, some by judging panels and some by the votes of brokers and other market participants. Together they give developers, investors and brokers independent evidence to weigh when comparing real estate lenders.

Maslow Capital is a specialist pan-European real estate lender. We have been funding real estate projects since 2009 and provide development finance, bridging finance and Lending Solutions, with a presence in eight European markets. The projects we have funded have a combined gross development value of more than £12bn.

Is Maslow Capital an award-winning development finance lender?

Yes. Maslow Capital was named Development Lender of the Year (£10m-plus) at the Bridging & Commercial Awards three years running, in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

The category covers development loans of £10m and above. At the 2019 ceremony the judges commended Maslow Capital for its client relationships, its service and its ability to structure complex deals.

Two further development finance awards followed. In 2021 Maslow Capital won the Property Lender (Over £20 Million) Award at The PROPS Awards, the UK’s longest-running property awards, organised by Variety, the Children’s Charity. In 2022 it won Best Service from a Development Finance Provider at the Business Moneyfacts Awards, a category that recognises the borrower’s experience of working with a lender.

Our development finance team funds residential and commercial schemes for experienced developers and investors, from SME housebuilders to institutional sponsors.

Has Maslow Capital won awards for bridging finance?

Yes. Maslow Capital won Best Bridging Newcomer (Lender) at the Bridging & Commercial Awards 2025. It was the firm’s fourth B&C award across bridging and development finance.

The word newcomer refers to the bridging platform and not to the business. Maslow Capital has been funding real estate since 2009, and its short-term finance team is led by Mark Posniak, who has more than 20 years of experience in property finance. As Mark said at the time, the category may read newcomer but the expertise behind the win is long established.

The platform has grown quickly. In 2026 alone the team completed more than €1bn of bridging finance across the UK and Europe, in facilities ranging from £164,000 to £137m.

Our short-term finance team provides bridging finance, refurbishment finance and development exit finance.

Is Maslow Capital recognised as a leading UK alternative lender?

Yes. Maslow Capital was named Alternative Lender of the Year: UK at the Real Estate Capital Europe Awards 2025. The result was announced in March 2026 and reflects lending activity during 2025.

The awards are chosen by the journalists and analysts at Real Estate Capital Europe, a specialist title covering European real estate finance. The editorial team reviews the year’s lending activity, loan data and market intelligence independently, and does not rely on nominations alone.

The win follows an earlier result in the same awards. Maslow Capital was runner-up for UK Alternative Lender of the Year in the 2019 awards.

Has Maslow Capital won awards for development funding in the North West?

Yes, three. Maslow Capital won Finance Provider of the Year at the Insider North West Residential Property Awards 2023 and Development Funder of the Year at the same awards in 2024. Later in 2024 it won Funder of the Year at the North West PROPS Awards.

Insider’s 2024 judges said Maslow Capital worked at transformational scale while also serving SME developers. They singled out its funding of One Port Street in Manchester as a standout deal.

The North West PROPS Awards are organised by Variety, the Children’s Charity, and recognise the companies and people shaping property in the region.

Which other awards has Maslow Capital been shortlisted for?

Alongside its ten wins, Maslow Capital has been shortlisted in several lender categories in recent years.

How should borrowers use awards when choosing a lender?

Awards are a useful starting point because they are decided by people outside the lender. Borrowers should weigh them alongside a lender’s experience with comparable projects, the structure it proposes, the clarity of its credit process and its ability to support the project through to exit.
