Exciting News: Full Planning Permission secured for Alterations and Extensions to the Former Beales Department Store in Bournemouth!   We're thrilled to announce that tor&co has secured full planning permission for the transformation of the iconic former Beales department store in Bournemouth into a vibrant mixed-use scheme!   This project will create:   130 new residential flats 3 hybrid-use commercial units across basement and first floor A gym and swimming pool across basement to upper ground floor 42 parking spaces on subterranean levels, accessed by two car lifts    tor&co provided a comprehensive range of services for the private client, including architecture, planning, heritage, landscape architecture, and viability expertise.    We worked collaboratively with BCP Council and consultees to navigate the complex constraints including the close proximity to multiple designated and non-designated heritage assets, including the grade I listed St Peter’s Church.   The consented scheme retains the existing building’s core structure and introduces many design features which nod to the historic design. The development was praised by the case officer for its efforts to preserve the non-designated heritage asset.   This development will not only help to address Bournemouth's significant housing need but also revitalise the building through the re-instatement of commercial uses at ground floor, animating the building throughout the daytime and into the evening. The substantial public benefits were considered by officers to outweigh the harm identified to heritage assets.    #torandco #planningpermission #mixeduse #redevelopment #bournemouth #housing #heritage #urbanregeneration

In recent years, the cost of granny flats has skyrocketed, making them a significant investment. The price of constructing a granny flat can range from $100,000 to over $200,000, depending on factors such as location, design complexity, materials used, and local building regulations. These costs include not only the construction itself but also permits, utility connections, and landscaping. Additionally, the customization options and the desire for high-end finishes have pushed costs even further. So, is the price tag really worth it on a granny flat in these trying times?  What’s your say? let us know in the comments section. #australia #australianproperty #property #PropertyValue #rentalproperty #rent #home #realestate #construction #grannyflats #realestateinvesting #propertyinvestment #investmentopportunity #PropertyMarketTrends #realestatedevelopment #highprices #Location #landscape #realtor

'In the Holsel market we should look around retail things also'. During the site visit our Director once told me this line. In the High rise building construction we sometimes do not give attention to small things. He Said " During inspection every time, the check worked very carefully. Line, level or is it in proper plumb etc. When Clients take possession of the house that they should feel peace. We took their money to build, so quality should be best. #Building #Construction #residential #redevelopment

Attracting a grocer to the Coquina Key Plaza redevelopment is an outstanding change! This plan will likely be beneficial, particularly given that the area has been identified as needing a grocer. This need is further highlighted by the fact that many of the grocery stores in the Coquina Key area of St. Petersburg, FL, are smaller establishments and convenience stores rather than full-service grocery stores. The closest grocery stores in the area include Snax Food Store, MLK Food Store, Food Max, and others, most of which are within a 1.5 to 2.5-mile radius and do not offer the same variety or volume of products as a larger grocery store. A full-service grocery store could provide several benefits to the local community: 1. Access to Fresh Food: Larger grocers usually offer a wider variety of fresh produce, meats, and dairy products, which are essential for a healthy diet. 2. Convenience: A local full-service grocery store would reduce the need for residents to travel further for their shopping needs, especially for those without transportation. 3. Economic Impact: A grocery store can create local jobs and stimulate economic activity in the area. 4. Community Hub: Large grocery stores often become community hubs where residents can meet and socialize. If a grocer does not sign on, other types of retailers or service providers that could potentially occupy the space might include pharmacies, medical clinics, fitness centers, or specialty stores, offering different but still valuable services to the community. Bottom line…this area is a food desert. The lack of easy access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food, further underscores the importance of a grocery store in the redevelopment plan.

Plot J of our regeneration scheme in the Gascoigne East estate in Barking for Be First, is set to be completed in the upcoming months. It will provide 124 affordable homes for the residents of Barking and will be Be First’s first Net Zero Carbon in operation scheme to be occupied. Plot J provides predominantly family accommodation and forms a perimeter block around a centralised communal courtyard at the heart of the scheme. The building steps between four, five, and six storeys to provide each home with optimal daylight and allow the courtyard to be sunny. Ground-floor homes are accessed via the street, raised in response to flood risk levels, and the communal entrances to the upper floors are articulated through the corners of the block. Plot J utilises passive design solutions, with high performing external envelope and with 100% dual-aspect flats to maximise cross ventilation and passive cooling.  MVHR inlets and outlets are integrated into the soffits. The roofs are covered with PVs to maximise energy generation on site. The landscaping with rain gardens, and permeable paving further reduce the buildings' environmental impact. It's been a collaborative effort working with Be First to bring this successfully to fruition, even through the pandemic. Working closely alongside the landscape architects at Turkington Martin, and with Elliot Wood, Steer, contractor Willmott Dixon and a multitude of other dedicated consultants and subcontractors on this project. It’s a testament to the dedication of the team that the development has gone so smoothly, despite all the challenges along the way. Listening and learning from the local area played a key role in the development of the scheme. Now it’s almost time for people to move in.  We look forward to seeing the positive impact this next phase of Gascoigne East’s estate regeneration will have on Barking’s community. #netzerocarbon #affordablehousing #estateregeneration #BeFirst #LBBD #London #Barking #GascoigneEast #WillmottDixon #ElliotWood #TurkingtonMartin #collaboration #barkinganddagenhamcouncil #befirstregeneration

Exciting news from Western Australia’s government! Due to the recent housing crisis and increasing rental prices WA is taking a huge step forward with its new legislation for scrapping the rules around building granny flats in suburban back yards. Removing minimum lot size requirements and streamlining the planning process is making it easier than ever to add dwellings to any property land. We can expect a significant boost in urban density which goes hand in hand addressing Perth’s low vacancy rates.

If you're considering refurbishing a heritage building, then look no further than BY Group. We're specialists in heritage refurbishment and can manage every phase from construction management to project completion and handover. Today we’re looking back at this heritage refurbishment job we worked on in Glebe. We've worked on quite a few jobs like this where we’ve needed to structurally underpin the heritage structures, with a multi-storey new build all within tight inner city access. The scope of the project was, but not limited to detailed demolition, subdivision of two lots into Torrens title, heritage refurbishment of street facing structures, and new build multi-story construction of contemporary living structures to the rear of the properties.
