PPR Estates (PPR) development team are making excellent progress in restoring and extending the Grade II Listed site above Joe & the Juice on Guildford High Street to create 5 high specification, new homes. The new roof extension will be completed by mid-November and the Apartments are on-program to be occupied in Spring 2025. Joining the site team for the monthly project meeting, Nick Hopkinson, PPR Director commented: “It’s always exciting to see redundant spaces like this being regenerated to create new homes & come back into use. The sensitive regeneration of this listed building fits within PPR’s ESG vision. The new homes will also add to the vibrancy and viability of Guildford town centre. We can’t wait to see the finished project early next year.” Our Regeneration Mission: PPR has considerable further funds to invest in similar site acquisitions. Our strategic aim is to repurpose vacant and under-utilised properties and create thriving mixed-use residential, retail, and commercial units whilst balancing Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) concerns through our hands on asset management and repurposing/ redevelopment approach. #realestate #regeneration #towncentre #resi

We are delighted to hear that Regal's redevelopment of 100 Chalk Farm Road has been unanimously approved by London Borough of Camden.   Volterra authored the Economic Regeneration and Employment and Skills Statement, and Full Health Impact Assessment on this project. There is a pressing need for purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) throughout London, in particular within Camden.  Some key aspects of our reports we'd love to share:   Community benefits: This report outlined the importance of student expenditure in supporting local businesses, particularly relevant given the prominent location of Chalk Farm Road in Camden. It highlighted specific local venues that are likely to experience substantial benefits resulting from the new students living at 100 Chalk Farm Road. Students also bring significant community benefits, beyond their local spending. Evidence suggests that 6% of students in PBSA typically volunteer for local charities or foodbanks. This suggests that up to 20 students at the 100 Chalk Farm Road development may take part in local volunteering opportunities.   Local partnerships: 100 Chalk Farm Road is located next to the Roundhouse music venue. Regal partnered with the Roundhouse Trust to enhance opportunities for young creatives in the local community. Through a number of different initiatives, Regal will support young creatives at the Roundhouse, including through integration with the Roundhouse employability programmes, mentoring, and working with the talent at the Roundhouse to develop vibrant new content. This reflects the benefits that come with building local partnerships.

Plans for a significant redevelopment in Lincoln city centre are moving forward

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 | 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 • The distinguished Honorable Nick Champion, serving as the Minister for Housing and Urban Development, recently graced the precinct he once ardently represented in the esteemed Federal Parliament. His presence was marked by the unveiling of a monumental initiative - the $200 million rejuvenation of the Salisbury City Centre. This ambitious undertaking is set to redefine urban landscapes and elevate community living standards through a strategic collaboration between the visionary City of Salisbury and the esteemed Buildtec / Catcorp consortium. Scheduled for fulfillment by the year 2026, this transformative development promises to introduce over 200 distinctive housing alternatives, strategically located in close proximity to an array of essential amenities. The meticulously planned project aims to seamlessly integrate residential spaces with vibrant commercial hubs, offering residents convenient access to an array of retail establishments, dining options, employment opportunities, and efficient public transportation services, prominently featuring the Salisbury Train Station as a pivotal transportation hub. The Salisbury City Centre redevelopment initiative stands as a testament to innovative urban planning and collaborative governance, poised to catalyze economic growth, foster community cohesion, and enhance the quality of life for residents. Under the visionary leadership of Minister Champion, this groundbreaking project symbolizes a paradigm shift towards sustainable urban development and inclusive city planning, setting a new standard for progressive governance in the realm of housing and urban revitalization. #Australia #Salisbury #Adelaide #SouthAustralia

Following the adoption of Greater Manchester's Places for Everyone spatial strategy earlier this year, Shoosmiths brought together real estate experts for a roundtable discussion on the plan and approaches to new development, redevelopment, renewable energy provision, and decarbonisation. While the focus is on unlocking new regeneration and development opportunities, the plan also emphasises the ‘aim to maximise its economic, social, and environmental benefits simultaneously, minimise adverse impacts, utilise sustainable construction techniques, and actively seek opportunities to secure net gains across all objectives.’ This presents a challenge for developers, building owners, occupiers, and investors that are already navigating evolving legislation and broader environmental risks. Therefore, a balance must be struck between maintaining project viability and futureproofing Greater Manchester’s building stock – both new and existing developments. Here are some key snippets from the discussion delving into this further 👇 The full discussion can also be watched: https://lnkd.in/eCTej3dE Taking part: Alan Hall (Genr8 Developments), Caroline Wright (Trafford Council), Chris Hosty (CERT Property), Derek Griffin (Whitbread), Helen Gribbon (Renaissance), Kate McClean (Tetra Tech), Neil Pickup (Ask Real Estate), Warren Taylor (Cityheart), alongside Shoosmiths’ Lisa Tye, Richard Symonds, Ian Hardman and Patrick Duffy.
