LCR Property’s Post

It's really great to see Kings Cross shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize 2024. Of course it all started with LCR, and it was our holistic approach bringing together multiple interested parties that underpinned Kings Cross' success. The culmination was the formation of the Kings Cross Central Partnership, enabling an overarching focus on placemaking and estate management. By de-risking Kings Cross to make it attractive to market we created a best practice approach to placemaking, the attraction of tenants, and the sustainability of buildings. LCR, after an initial investment of £32 million, formally sold its stake in KCCP in 2016 for £371 million. Well done to everyone involved in this project over the years, and the other shortlisted projects up for the prize this year. https://lnkd.in/dq-Cwny #KingsCross #placemaking #regeneration #bestpractice #StirlingPrize

Unlocking Derby’s Potential: A New Gateway to the City Midland House, the former headquarters of The Midland Railway Company, will be an anchor asset to the Station Quarter regeneration project in Derby. Post comprehensive refurbishment, the 55,000 sq. ft unlisted heritage building could provide modern grade A office or high-quality residential accommodation. Working with Derby City Council, Network Rail, and other key partners, we’re developing a holistic masterplan and Interim Planning Guidance that will avoid piecemeal development and unlock the full potential of this strategic site. Look out for the commencement of public consultation on this opportunity in October. Key benefits of the project include: 🏙️ Improved station environment and city gateway 🏘️ C. 1,500 new homes 💰 C. £31m public value over 20 years Find out more 👉 https://lnkd.in/eJ55Ftk8 #DerbyTransformation #UrbanRegeneration #PublicValue #StationLedDevelopment #MidlandHouse
