**OUR EXPERIENCE IN THE RESIDENTIAL SECTOR**
Creating homely environments for people to live.
From high rise blocks in urban city centres, to one-off exclusive town centre developments that incorporate historic elements, all our residential projects are carefully considered and built in partnership with our customers.
So whether we are delivering a high rise building in record time, or sensitively restoring historic properties, we do this with the end users at the heart of our delivery.
This includes working in partnership with local authority customers to maximise the use of often small and unused parcels of land, as well as private sector developers targeting luxury build-to-rent schemes.
Over the past decade in residential delivery, we have handed over:
High-rise city-centre residential blocks
Student accommodation
Heritage refurbishments and restorations

Manor Road Quarter Development | £107mCanning Town, London Borough of Newham
A 34-story mixed-use development that will bring new homes and commercial space to Canning Town. It will feature 355 apartments, 50% of which will be affordable homes and 8,000ft2 of commercial and retail space.
When complete, the Manor Road Quarter will become one of the tallest structures in the Canning Town area. A two-acre linear park is also to be created on the site with new walking and cycle routes to improve the community’s connectivity and promote active travel.
The sustainable nature of the design will reduce the building’s carbon output by 51%. Air source heat pumps will provide an ambient temperature supply to the apartments, avoiding the need for additional ventilation. Energy requirements will be minimised with photovoltaic cells generating renewable energy and efficient lighting with controls to ensure lights are not left on unnecessarily.
Manor Road Quarter will further help to reinvent the area in a bold and imaginative way, while at the same time attracting investment and creating much-needed affordable homes for the people of Newham."

Lambeth Town Hall and Ivor House | £81mLondon Borough of Lambeth
Working with developers Muse, we refurbished the Grade II listed town hall in Brixton and built a new six-storey, energy efficient civic centre. The locally listed, Art Deco Ivor House has been given a new lease of life, bringing 26 stunning apartments and extensive basement and ground floor retail space to the heart of SW2.
This dramatic regeneration project has consolidated the council's buildings from 14 to two, saving taxpayers £4.5 million a year.
The project was a masterclass in logistics planning. Our three buildings - which took up the entire footprint of the triangular site - surrounded renowned music venue Electric Brixton. Remaining fully functional throughout the work, we managed forty tonnes of structural steel, 3,500 workers, and countless tour buses through our site entrance.
The feedback from the tours, visitors, the public, councillors, and staff coming into both buildings has been incredible. Bringing the Town Hall back to life has been very well received by everyone who knew it before.

CCOS | £60mSt Albans, Hertfordshire
Also known as the Civic Centre Opportunities Site, this £40m, mixed-use development will create approximately 100 mixed tenure flats along with commercial and retail facilities and a basement car park with over 100 spaces.

There will also be green and brown roofs as well as a green wall, electric vehicle charging points and thermally-efficient construction materials.
This is one of the most ambitious developments the Council has ever undertaken and it is very exciting that we are able to fulfil our vision of transforming a rundown area of the city centre."

Old Library Site | £51mSlough
The construction of two new Marriott Hotel brands (Moxy and Residences Inn) at the heart of Slough.
Located on the site of the former library, the scheme was driven by the lack of quality, modern, short and long stay hotels within Slough; there was a need for a centrally located high brand hotel that could offer a mix of short and long term accommodation as well as address the requirement for new build residential accommodation to improve the city centre.
The project developed into the construction of two new Marriott hotels, as well as 64 apartments and 4,000sqft of restaurant and retail space along with off site parking, right at the heart of Slough town centre. The project is being delivered under the Slough Urban Renewal (SUR).
Several months ahead (!) of schedule, I was extremely proud to accept the practical completion. We couldn’t be more proud of the partnership that has delivered this high quality project. Whilst it is cheesy, teamwork does really make the dream work.

The project also including the construction of a new commercial block and super-crossing over the main Leicester ring road.
The ambitious scheme has helped to transform a long-neglected part of Leicester and, by incorporating major highway and public realm improvements, has created an attractive new gateway between the city centre and the Waterside regeneration area.

Oak Tree Gardens (MoSTA) | £5.1mSt Albans, Hertfordshire
Delivery of ten new high-specification homes for the Oak Tree Gardens Scheme, on the site of the former Museum of St Albans (MoSTA), in the heart of the city.
As the first residential scheme for the customer since 2012, the centre-piece of the development is the Victorian façade. The front and side façades were retained due to their location within St Albans' conservation area. In total, the existing façade runs for 62 metres around the site.
As part of the enabling works, existing buildings, including the old museum with retained façade, were demolished. The new build blocks use traditional strip foundations with a brickwork sub-structure then a beam and block ground floor. The 21m high blocks have a cross-gable vaulted roof design to replicate that of the original museum.
So many people, community and professionals came together to create something special. When it’s finished it will not just be brand new homes – it’s got that sense of homeliness about it already. I could visualise myself here.”
