Regeneration is about more than just physical redevelopment. It's about the social and economic transformation of declining areas by providing housing, health, educational, leisure, infrastructure, transport and commercial facilities. It’s about creating places in which people want to live and in which they can afford to live.
The broad objectives of the Homes and Communities Agency and the wide range of tools at its disposal to deliver them changes the way regeneration is delivered. It means that Government support to regeneration projects is more flexible - but it also means it is more complex. Those in the sector need better, smarter advice. To make the most of the opportunities available they need to be more adaptable.
Combining our long-held leading role in social housing with our commercial, planning and construction expertise, we are one of a handful of firms that is genuinely responding to this change – being able to provide a greater all round view of the sector.
We appreciate that the key is delivery – and that is rarely an easy thing. We believe the best approach is to work collaboratively with all stakeholders in a transaction to move towards a common objective rather than to treat transactions as battles to be won. This produces better and more sustainable results for our clients.
