executive Robert Whitton and Essex-based developer Daren Burney’s ROM Capital Group has signed a 50-year lease with Everton Football Club for a £17m training ground development at Halewood, Knowsley.

The development includes 10 grass pitches, a full-size synthetic pitch, physiotherapy and medical centre, and an academy for youth team players.

Whitton and Burney bought the land from Everton Football Club in 2005 to develop the training facilities.

Daren Burney said: “We are delighted with the successful completion of this development.

“The facilities are second to none, and we now have a trophy asset with an ambitious Premiership football club as a long-term tenant.” http://www.egi.co.uk/Articles/Article.aspx?liArticleID=664719 (1 of 3)29/12/2007 06:04:21

The ROM Capital Opportunity Fund was set up in October of this year in a £400m joint venture with the Bank of Scotland Corporate.

The fund targets the downturn in the commercial property market, and will seek to invest £100m annually on secondary property over the next four years.
