Place

We aspire to create inspiring, vibrant and thriving communities and neighbourhoods that are socially, culturally, environmentally and commercially sustainable.

 

The natural world provides many services that we rely on, from purifying the air we breathe, to pollinating our plants.

We are increasingly aware of the need to preserve, protect and improve biodiversity across our developments, and are committed to ensuring that the benefits of the natural environment are available to all, now and in future generations.

The success of any place is largely dependent on the places and spaces that shape the built environment and how they function to welcome all. This is why we adopt a Space Positive design approach across all our projects, delivering public realm that not only creates an instant impact but also matures and has longevity.

From the infrastructure required for everyday activities and our day-to-day management approach, to the animation provided by regular events and one-off occasions, we consider the details so that we create places that are accessible, inviting and inspirational to all.

Transport and connectivity in new development goes beyond proximity to local transport networks and the availability of safe routes; for us, it is about providing attractive public realm that actively encourages walking and cycling; about ensuring that transport options are linked and that if things go wrong on the daily commute, an alternative option is nearby; and about ensuring that logistics are managed so that our developments aren't overwhelmed by people moving in and out, bin lorries picking up waste from dozens of different buildings, and delivery vehicles dropping off construction, commercial and residential deliveries on a daily basis.
