Now building · KN CONNECTIVE Site 1

Built on partnerships.
Grown by community.

KN Capital builds from partnerships and communities, bringing sport, social and community together in one place, where people stay active and businesses connect. You have the land; we look at it for both sport and storage, find the option that works best for that site, then build it out and connect it to the network — as a partnership, a lease option or a profit-share agreement, with the split weighted in favour of the land. We bring the media exposure and the land development together, so the site gets more than it could on its own. Where sport fits, it starts with padel: at least three courts, two doubles and one singles. What we are building is KN CONNECTIVE: a network of sports, storage, workspace and logistics sites, built in the open, one step at a time.

Sites we’re looking for · partner or freehold

Land and sports sites, ¼ acre to 10+ acres. Built within your community.

We are looking for land and sporting sites to partner on, or to buy freehold. Every site is assessed for its best use first, then built out to give back to the community around it. As the major sporting sites come on, the HAF Network grows with them, moving, storing and supporting everything in between.

Route 1

Partner with us

A partnership, a lease option or a profit-share agreement, with the split weighted in favour of the land. You keep the land. We bring the build, the media exposure and the network.

Route 2

Sell us the freehold

Where it suits the owner better, we buy freehold land and sports sites outright, then develop them for the community around them.

What fits, by size

¼–1 acre

Courts first

Padel, at least 3 courts: 2 doubles and 1 singles. Golf simulators and a gym where the space allows.

1–3 acres

Courts plus pitch

Everything above, plus an astro pitch, a gym on site and social space for training nights and match days.

3–10+ acres

A full community hub

Astro pitches, extra football infrastructure, courts, golf simulators and a gym, with room for the network around them.

A typical fit, not a promise. Every site is assessed for sport and storage before anything is built.

Non-league football clubs

Earn and grow, in stages.

We work with non-league clubs to bring new facilities onto their ground at a cost-effective rate, so the club earns from them and grows with them.

01 · ShareShared memberships, so the club earns alongside us, and low-cost court fees for its players and families.
02 · AddPadel courts and golf simulators, so the ground earns all week, not just on match days.
03 · BuildAstro pitches, a gym on site and extra football infrastructure, for better community training and growth.

Built from partnerships & communities

Sport, social and community, together.

Every site we build is a place where people stay active and businesses connect. We start with a partnership with the landowner, then bring sport, social space and community under one roof, with business networking built in.

The Plan · how the layers get built

Three phases. Each one pays for the next.

Nothing is built ahead of itself. The land is secured first. Then we look at it for sport and storage and build whichever works best for that site. The phases lay the bottom of the stack: Ownership first, then Space and Project V.

Layer 01 · Ownership

Our first KN CONNECTIVE site is being secured with a small group of investment partners, with Oughtibridge, Sheffield as the flagship and HQ. The order is fixed: secure the land, look at it for sport and storage, build the option that works best, then the wider site. What we learn here becomes the playbook for every KN CONNECTIVE site across the UK.

Strategy

Land, partnerships and options come first

We start with the land. Landowners come in through a partnership, a lease option or a profit-share agreement, with the split weighted in favour of the land. Every site is then assessed for sport and storage and built to its best use, and we bring the media exposure and the land development together, so the site and the network grow in value side by side.

Research

The UK self-storage market, mapped

We built our own map of more than 3,000 storage sites across the UK, with pricing, to choose and price our sites on evidence rather than guesswork.

The Waterfall Method

Capital moves in order. Always.

Every project runs on the Waterfall Method — costs, debt and investor returns are satisfied in strict order. No one gets paid out of turn.

Capital In

Investor capital, KN Capital equity and agreed debt provide the fuel for every project.

Costs First

Operations and lender obligations always settled first. No distribution while any liability remains.

Returns Paid

Capital returned first, then investor return, then profit split — fair, transparent, documented.

↵

Reinvested

KN Capital’s share flows into the next site — compounding the asset base each cycle.
