Our Approach

Creating enterprising communities

In all our activities, we operate to a set of core values. We invest back into the communities where we base our commercial activities and we conduct our business to ethical standards.

We are a fair landlord – fledgling businesses need support and advice in order to prosper. We are also a firm landlord, keeping rents reasonable by collecting revenue efficiently.

We believe that responsibly developed mixed communities contribute to sustained regeneration and support new businesses in creating a vibrant local economy. Our local knowledge enables us to overcome the challenges and unlock the opportunities of sites to create community focused developments.

We achieve this through participation in regeneration areas where employment, enterprise, housing and environmental improvement are identified as key priorities and through the acquisition of estates in public or private sector ownership and investment to improve the commercial environment.

Regeneration and development

Our extensive experience in the delivery of private and public sector regeneration schemes is complemented by multi-disciplinary skills and strong project management.

We are long term investors in projects and are market leaders in managing the design process, delivering sustainable infrastructure and improving the quality of life for residents and businesses.

Sustainability

It’s at the heart of what we do.

We aim to incorporate the latest environmental technology into our new developments. Future proofing our assets for generations to come is key.

We are committed to sustainability and we believe that people are attracted to live and work in developments with sound green credentials.

Residential properties in Hale Village are Code 4 and Breeam Standard of Excellence, resulting in a 43% carbon reduction.

Two biomass boilers, fuelled by recycled woodchip, provide heating and hot water for the entire development.

This £5 million facility means we far exceed London Plan requirements for 10% carbon saving from renewable energy sources.

Sound financial base

Through decades of informed investments and good financial judgement, we have built a solid financial base and strong relationships with long-standing private and institutional investors. They trust our track record and are supportive of our new ventures.

Partnerships

We create the great things we do through exceptional partnerships; developing mutually beneficial relationships built on shared values, goals and trust with local authorities, housing associations, charities and investors.

Responsible design

We work with the best architects and designers to ensure we create complimentary and environmentally sound buildings that enhance their immediate environment.
