A capital first developer
Article Abstract:
Property Developer and Member of Parliament (MP) Nicholas Barbon undertook speculative property development which left him with large debts when he died in 1698. Barbon was a honorary fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and he was a MP during 1690-1995. He is best known for his building schemes which included the Red Lion Square in London, England. He was very good at obtaining credit from small merchants and building firms. Barbon used inexpensive materials in order to cut costs. His buildings were valued at around 200,000 pounds sterling in the late 17th century.
