Throughout the project, we worked closely with the client and contractor to maximise efficiency and overcome challenges. By collaborating on a deed of variation, we facilitated the design and planning adjustments required to increase the number of Shared Ownership units, delivering 134 high-quality homes instead of the originally proposed penthouse apartments. As the Employer’s Agent and Quantity Surveyor on this project, we were proud to provide key support from inception to completion.

𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐦𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐝-𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞 The Council's latest proposals include new public toilet facilities and the relocation of the Changing Places facility, alongside demolition notices for Crown House and the former B&M buildings. These actions mark significant progress in transforming the town centre. Following recently approved plans for public realm works, which feature new artwork, social spaces, and improvements to the Len Medlock Centre, the vision includes a sensory garden and amphitheatre-style seating. Pending planning consent, Crown House will transform into a mixed-use building with retail units and apartments, enhanced by landscaping and parking. The revitalisation of Rosegarth Square aims to create a bustling community space with outdoor dining options and improved access to public transport, positioning it as Boston's gateway. Councillor Anne Dorrian highlights this initiative as a major milestone, enhancing the area's appearance, accessibility, and community potential, with improved public facilities closer to the town centre. #outdoordesign #landscapingideas #outdoorlivingspace #outdoorspace #commercialarchitecture Click the link below to read more and follow Lincolnshire In Focus for more regional updates. https://lnkd.in/eseQX8Wc

Multi-Million Dollar Expansion Approved for Melbourne’s next Docklands Housing Project! Lendlease has received the green light for the final phase of Collins Wharf, bringing more than 900 new apartments to the area. Located at 915-1055 Collins Street, this major residential project will culminate in six high-rise towers, further adding to the housing supply in Docklands. The latest approvals feature three residential towers: a 28-storey building by Ewert Leaf and Kennon Architects with 349 apartments, and two additional towers by Architectus including a 28-storey tower with 375 apartments and a 16-storey tower with 191 apartments. Central to the project is a 1500 sq m public park designed by ASPECT Studios, promising green spaces, a terraced timber lounge, and native plantings to enhance community living. Collins Wharf’s first building, No.1 Collins Wharf, completed in 2019, set the stage for this expansive precinct. With Regatta expected in 2026 and Ancora in 2027, the precinct is on track to provide over 6500 homes at Docklands, solidifying Lendlease’s commitment to urban revitalisation in their local patch, Docklands. Beyond Collins Wharf, Lendlease’s Victorian portfolio continues to grow, including its bid for the Arden Central precinct and the multi-tower Gurrowa Place near the Queen Victoria Markets. #BuildingTalks #MelbourneDevelopment #MelbourneDocklands

New life is expected to come to an old tower, as developers are pressing ahead with converting the former First National Bank building at 115 Pine Ave into housing. Preserved in its early 19th-century design, the historically registered building would be converted from offices into 70 residential units, pending the approval of the Long Beach Planning Bureau. Eleven of those apartments will be reserved for low-income households. READ MORE: https://lnkd.in/g73P59va

Oxford Properties Group has revised plans for the ambitious Union Park development in Downtown Toronto.

Masterplanned Community in #Markham Would Replace Big Box Centre Beaver Creek winds its way past the intersection of Highway 7 and Woodbine Avenue in #Markham, heading southeast to soon join the Rouge River as it heads toward the Rouge National Urban Park lands. Here though, while the watercourse is presently surrounded by #commercial and #industrial properties, a pair of proposals to the east of the creek would see a significant amount of #residential space added to the mix in they are approved. The larger of the abutting proposals actually surrounds the smaller one. Currently a large #commercial site with big box stores, restaurants, and parking lots, Woodside #Markham is proposed to gradually be reborn as a mixed-use, masterplanned community. First submitted to #Markham in 2021, the #redevelopment plan has recently been revised and resubmitted to the City. Uncommonly for the Greater #Toronto Area, the latest plans for the #Markham Woodside Redevelopment foresee something less dense than initially proposed. Designed by Urban Strategies Inc. for SmartCentres REIT and Choice Properties REIT, the revised plan outlines buildings ranging from 4 to 30 storeys, now to include an office building, along with parks and significant landscaping.

Tour any historic city and you’ll see land being used in many ways all at once—a storefront or professional office facing the street, an apartment upstairs, and maybe a workshop in the back. Modern zoning sought to bring order to this chaos, prescribing what parts of town were best suited for each individual purpose. But it didn’t work. That’s why mixed-use developments are now trending. These projects buck the vision laid out in zoning maps, instead creating properties where people can live, work, shop, play, and access services. https://hubs.ly/Q02GmgKB0
