NCG Global Announces Completion of Multi-Million-Pound Follow-On Financing
- Symphony Capital, LLC leads multi-year investment to support mission-critical real estate infrastructure
- Financing reflects continued institutional conviction in foundational building technology
London, UK — NCG Global, a global technology partner to the real estate industry, today announced the completion of an undisclosed, multi-million-pound follow-on investment as part of a multi-year financing led by Symphony Capital LLC, a private investment firm controlled by Christopher Cox.
The investment reinforces Symphony Capital’s long-term commitment to NCG and reflects increasing institutional conviction in the mission-critical technology and infrastructure that keep modern commercial buildings operating reliably and at scale.
Strategic Capital for Foundational Real Estate Infrastructure
Mr. Cox is a General Partner and Managing Partner of Population Health Partners, a global investment and company-building firm. He is widely recognized for his leadership in life sciences investing and company creation, including his role as a co-founder of Metsera, Inc., which was recently acquired by Pfizer Inc. in a transaction valued at up to $10 billion.
This follow-on investment represents a deliberate expansion of that infrastructure-focused investment philosophy into the built environment, where reliability, resilience, and operational continuity are increasingly central to asset performance.
“Buildings are increasingly complex operating systems,” said Mr. Cox. “NCG brings order to fragmented building technology by providing the foundational infrastructure layer—managed smart networks, systems integration, and continuous support—that everything else depends on. This is not discretionary technology; it is infrastructure that cannot fail. As owners face significant reinvestment requirements in the years ahead, NCG is well positioned to capture a meaningful share of that demand.”
Infrastructure Over Innovation Theatre
The financing comes amid a broader shift in the proptech market, as investors move away from tenant-experience applications and speculative growth narratives toward core building systems with proven operating models, recurring revenue, and durable client relationships.
NCG’s approach contrasts with venture-backed proptech models that dominated the market between 2020 and 2022. Rather than consumer-facing applications or experimental smart-building concepts, the company delivers the essential technology backbone of commercial real estate, including managed smart networks, connectivity infrastructure, systems integration, and 24/7 managed support across flexible workspaces, industrial portfolios, offices, and enterprise environments.
“Chris understands the difference between technology that is nice to have and infrastructure that simply cannot go down,” said Tom Proctor, Chief Executive Officer of NCG Global. “This investment validates our focus on reliability, quality, and long-term partnerships. Our clients depend on systems that work every day, without exception—and that is what NCG delivers.”
Positioned for the Next Phase of the Market Cycle
The investment will support the continued strengthening of NCG’s core infrastructure capabilities and the expansion of its managed services platform, including its managed smart network offerings, as real estate owners increasingly seek consolidated, dependable technology partners rather than fragmented point-solution vendors.
The transaction coincides with a broader reassessment of real estate technology investments by institutional capital. Rising construction costs, constrained supply, and intensified competition for high-quality occupiers are driving demand for resilient, high-performance building infrastructure. The crossover of capital from life sciences into the built-environment sector reflects a growing recognition of the parallels between regulated, mission-critical industries.
