Projects
Great projects, great people and a belief that doing good is good business.
At first glance, our projects cover a wide range of stuff. What unites them is a shared approach – using our property development expertise to help partners achieve their goals.
Every brief starts with listening; understanding the project’s intent and identifying the right model to deliver the desired outcomes.
We’re currently delivering mixed-use projects across residential, education, workplace, and cultural sectors, at both individual and masterplan scales. Most of our work is within 90 minutes of London and Bristol.
We have a really exciting set of projects, but we are always keen to explore new opportunities. If you have a project we might be able to help with, we’d love to hear from you.
Our project in Frome, Somerset will be the largest community-led development in the UK.
An overview of our projects
Each of our projects is summarised in detail below, but we thought it would be helpful to pull out a few examples of the kind of projects we are working on.
