Leading property developer One Point Six was established in 2017 by Yadav Jani and Bhavnish Chandaria, their principle of the ‘golden ratio’ driving them to deliver some of the most breath-taking luxury developments across London, including the recent £7.95 million, 45 Eaton Square.
The perfect symmetrical relationship between two proportions, the ‘golden ratio’ has been the core theory behind all of One Point Six’s projects. This, combined with the duo’s exemplary attention to detail, has empowered the team with the vision to create, design and deliver meticulously considered, design-led homes for a number of private clients and investors.
We sat down with Yadav and Bhavnish and discussed everything from the firm’s unique design philosophy to 45 Eaton Square, described as the company’s most ambitious project to date.
So, Yadav and Bhavnish, please tell us a little about yourselves.
Yadav Jani: I’m a director at One Point Six, a property development business started alongside my business partner, Bhavnish. While growing up I lived between London and Nairobi, as my family alternated between the UK and Kenya for business, building one of East Africa’s largest financial advisory firms. I was always fascinated by the unique architecture of both cities with their eclectic styles, which is where my interest in property first began.
Before starting One Point Six, I received a masters in finance and marketing from the University of Birmingham. I then took on a role as a financial consultant, working within my family’s business to provide investment advice for our clients across a broad range of industries, such as banking, farming, mortgage services and, of course, property.
Bhavnish Chandaria: I also have a background in finance graduating from the University of Manchester. I began working in real estate in 2005, for my family’s Kenya based company DMC Group where I now head up the group’s real estate ventures. We cater to the growing needs of the residential and commercial markets in Kenya, helping investors to secure strong returns.
What was the inspiration behind starting One Point Six and can you tell us about your offering?
Bhavnish: One Point Six is a progressive property development partnership started by Yadav and myself in 2017. We have known each other since childhood and always got on fantastically well. After working together on a project, we decided to combine our joint expertise and experiences together as property entrepreneurs to create spectacular residences driven by our belief in the ‘golden ratio’. We develop our own properties as well as providing a turnkey service to individuals and businesses, whether it involves meticulous restorations of their own homes through to a detailed ground-up development to sell.
Yadav: We both have significant experience investing in the prime central London market covering thousands of the capital’s finest properties. Our expertise lies in identifying outstanding opportunities sourced through our extensive networks. We create thoughtfully planned spaces as functionally efficient as they are effortlessly glamorous, sensitively tailored to their location.
