Hadley Property Group

This March, Hadley is fundraising for SHEWISE, a Hounslow-based charity supporting women facing domestic abuse, mental health challenges, economic hardship and those experiencing prison and the criminal justice system, with a focus on helping South Asian and Middle Eastern women and girls. To support their mission, we launched a fundraiser in the lead-up to International Women’s Day, with our team committing to walk, run, and cycle 3,000km throughout the month. We kicked things off for International Women’s Day with a group walk along the Thames, covering some early miles and showing our support for SHEWISE. We’re keeping the momentum going all month!

At MIPIM next week, we’re bringing together industry leaders from across the sector to explore how we can deliver real, tangible social value through urban development. As a regeneration specialist and curator of place, Hadley is committed to ensuring that major projects—like our work at IQL North in Stratford, which we’ll be discussing on Thursday—create lasting impact for communities. Co-hosted by the World Economic Forum, Avison Young, and MIPIM, this session will focus on collaboration, strategy, and practical action. Our own Mabel Ogundayo and Matt Griffiths-Rimmer will be taking part in the discussions, sharing insights on how public-private partnerships can drive better outcomes on the ground. With expertise coming from Deloitte, who led our planning journey, Adam Cavanagh bringing an investment perspective and the Local Authority perspective of the Mayor of Newham, Rokhsana Fiaz, this promises to be a hugely engaging session on the benefits of inclusive growth with a wide range of views shaping the conversation. This is about more than just good intentions—it’s about action. If you're at MIPIM, join us as we work towards practical, strategic approaches to embedding social value into major developments. #MIPIM2025 #SocialValue #UrbanRegeneration #Placemaking #IQLNorth #CollaborativeImpact

The Sunday Times has named SE20, Penge, as one of the 11 coolest UK postcodes for 2025. Coining Penge as ‘the city’s best kept secret,’ it’s great to see a nod to the Blenheim Centre’s Rooftop Gallery, alongside some other fantastic local venues. We first collaborated with London Calling Blog, curator of London street art, back in 2021 to reimagine the top two floors of the Blenheim Centre's underutilised car park and transform it into a meanwhile street art gallery. Since then, it has become a popular local attraction, bringing in thousands of visitors and over 360 artists from around the world. A joint venture between Hadley and Clarion Housing Group, our application for the redevelopment of the Blenheim Centre was approved in March 2024. The scheme will deliver 230 new homes at 35% affordable, new commercial and community uses, and green public realm, further enhancing this vibrant spot in southeast London.

We are pleased to announce that our meanwhile use project, The LightHouse and Gardens, has been shortlisted for The Developer and Festival of Place The Pineapples 2025 under the ‘Community Space’ category. This award celebrates projects that enhance communities through public spaces that bring people together or serve as valuable local assets. The LightHouse and Gardens have become well-known in Stratford over the past few years - a place to garden, play, learn, practice wellbeing and celebrate with community. This is made possible by our LightHouse and Gardens staff, onsite operators from Community Sauna Baths CIC, El Cafecito and Elite Project Services, volunteers and community members. Everyone involved has helped bring our vision of the space to life and evolve it beyond what we could have imagined when we opened in the Summer of 2022. Thank you all for your dedication and hard work! You can find out more and see the full shortlist at https://lnkd.in/dwiu6gTk

At the end of last year, we commenced our first formal round of consultation for 980 Great West Road, a site representing significant opportunity and potential for the borough of Hounslow. Taking place both in person and online via our virtual exhibition room, we presented our early plans for the redevelopment of the former GSK site, discussing evolving masterplan layouts, landscape principles, urban greening and biodiversity, key character areas, embodied carbon, potential for retention and possible activation of the site for meanwhile use. Following on from our detailed co-design programme in the Autumn, this consultation was a crucial exercise in developing a deeper understanding of local aspirations and needs and how we can bring forward a scheme that complements and benefits the existing community. It was also an opportunity to present the co-design outcomes and how they knit into the evolving masterplan narrative. We have had excellent engagement from the residents of Brentford and wider Hounslow, receiving a high volume of feedback to inform the progression of our plans. Our team are currently analysing the feedback and taking input and ideas on board, which we look forward to sharing at our second round of consultation later this year. You can still view our consultation materials and complete a Have Your Say survey by visiting hellobrentford.co.uk.

We have been working closely with the Hounslow community this past year. As part of this engagement, we recently undertook a six-session co-design programme on the future of 980 Great West Road in Brentford (formerly GSK House). Facilitated and delivered in partnership with Neighbourly Lab, Metropolitan Workshop LLP, Haworth Tompkins and McGregor Coxall, we invited a broad and diverse group of people from the local area to lend their lived experience and knowledge to inform and influence the evolution of our proposals. The co-design sessions covered six key themes: - Accessibility and Navigation - Green, Blue, and Play Spaces - Entertainment and Leisure facilities - Women and Girls Safe Spaces - Practical Facilities - Youth Facilities At our Youth Facilities session in November, our Design Director, Michael Clark, reflected on the central role co-design plays in the planning process and evolving designs that speak to the needs and aspirations of residents. Since these sessions, we presented our early plans at our public consultation events earlier this month, gathering further feedback from the community. Next year, we will come back with updates on how we have integrated co-design outcomes into our designs, alongside a further round of consultation to present our advanced designs. We look forward to continuing conversations with the community and the collaborative planning journey with the London Borough of Hounslow. Thank you to all those who have been involved so far!
