JV with MCR Property Group. Situated in prime Manchester city centre location, Hotspur House, a 19th Century mill in Cambridge Street was purchased in 2015. The 56,000 sq ft five-storey warehouse was formerly used as a cotton mill, before being taken over by printing company Percy Brothers. The building was more recently used as a printing shop until 2011 where the building was then left vacant.

Hotspur House is near two prime residential developments; the Macintosh Mills redevelopment and also opposite a 280-apartment scheme by Renaker Build. Planning permission has been granted for the redevelopment of Hotspur Press, which would see part of the historic building’s facade kept, its signage restored and a new tower block of 171 apartments built behind its frontage.

We acquired the site in 2015, gained planning permission for 33 flats, with underground parking. Work commenced in 2017 and Constable Court was completed in 2019.

A modern development of 1 and 2-bedroom apartments offering stylish, open-plan living with an impeccable interior specification.

We acquired the former leadworks in Chester in 2015. It comprised various industrial buildings, some listed including the “Shot Tower” which had been unused for 15 years.

The tower is the tallest structure in Chester, and one of just three remaining shot towers in the UK. They were used to manufacture lead shot for shot guns.

The previous owner had planning permission for 50 flats and ground floor retail. We submitted revised plans for 69 flats and 3 town houses incorporating the listed buildings and tower.

It is an iconic development, situated on the Shropshire Union Canal opposite the RIBA nominated Waitrose store in Chester.

The project was completed in 2022 and won an “Outstanding Design and Conservation” award and was nominated for “Larger development ” in 2022 The North West Homebuilder Awards.

We acquired a simple 1960’s house in the coveted "Bird Streets" area of Hollywood Hills. Working with Whipple Russell Architects, we drew up plans for a modernist house inspired by 1959 “Stahl House”, one of the most famous LA Case Study houses.

Complete demolition of the existing house and new foundations for a swimming pool cantilevered out over the hillside below. The site offered sweeping city views of downtown LA to the Pacific Ocean, and the new 4,000 ft2 house is a prominent contemporary update of a classic mid-century modern. Set in an unparalleled location high above the Sunset Strip.

It was purchased by actor Matthew Perry, star of “Friends” in August 2011
