Rupert des Forges
Spear’s Review
A property guru with an ‘encyclopaedic’ knowledge of Knightsbridge, Belgravia and Chelsea, Rupert des Forges is Knight Frank’s head of prime central London developments.
Des Forges has worked in London’s gilded postcodes for over 30 years, with more than half of that time at Knight Frank. He has overseen the headline sales of the penthouse floors at 1 Grosvenor Square, 16 sales at Holland Park Villas and the penthouses at Clarges Mayfair, working alongside market-leading developers such as Finchatton and Candy & Candy.
He’s witnessed ‘the greater resilience’ that prime central London developments possess in a challenging market, and notes that the ‘deal count’ is seeing year-on-year improvement.
