CERT - What's next, starts here.

We’re officially out of the ground at Peelers! 🏗️ The steel frame is going up at our Peelers Yard development, marking an exciting milestone. This project will bring 81 modern homes, including open-plan one and two-bedroom apartments, duplex penthouses, and townhouses. Built on the historic site of a 19th-century police station, this is one of three Build-to-Rent sites in our pipeline, all of which will be fully retained and operated by our dedicated in-house residential experts. 🙌 Stay tuned for more updates as this vibrant community takes shape! 👀 #BTR #SteelFrame #ConstructionUpdate

2024 has been another exciting year, marked by significant milestones that reflect our growth, innovation, and dedication to creating exceptional living spaces. As a transformative manager of spaces & places, we’ve made incredible strides across various projects. From breaking ground on new developments to securing crucial planning approvals, here’s a closer look at what we’ve accomplished: ✨ January – Construction started at Peelers Yard, our first BTR scheme in New Cross. This 81-home project blends modern apartments with the site’s historic 1800s police station features, creating unique living spaces. 🏗️ February – Work began on Osborne Yard, a residential scheme in Collyhurst. With 90 carefully crafted homes, it offers modern urban living with easy access to Ancoats, the Northern Quarter, and other vibrant Manchester districts. We also took over block management for Meadow Mill in Stockport, a 213-home site where we reduced service charges by 36% and introduced sustainability initiatives to encourage a thriving community. 📜 May – We submitted plans for Cross Keys, bringing 99 BTR homes, a rooftop garden, and a public courtyard to New Cross, right across from Peelers Yard. We also celebrated Duke & Parr in Liverpool winning Insider Workplace Fit-out of the Year! 🏆 ✔️ September – Cross Keys received planning approval, and construction began on Centric, our first residential scheme in Liverpool’s. This office-to-residential conversion will deliver 46 contemporary apartments in the City's Moorfields financial district. 🏗️ November – We’re officially out of the ground at Peelers Yard! The steel frame is rising, marking an exciting milestone at our New Cross development. ✔️ December – Osborne Yard is nearing its topping-out milestone, marking another exciting step forward as we progress towards completing the project. #PropertyManagement #BTR #Development #PropertyManagement #BTR #Development

✨ Celebrating Creativity, Placemaking and Community in 2024 ✨ This year, we've proudly hosted a variety of events that reflect our commitment to creativity, placemaking, community, and collaboration. Through these events, we've connected with our local communities, supported emerging artists, and created spaces for meaningful interaction. Here’s a look back at some of the highlights: 🎨 March – The Collective art exhibition at Elevator Studios featured emerging talent from Liverpool Hope University, giving students a platform to showcase their work. 🎨 April – The Softwire Gallery Takeover brought together our local creative community in Hilton House, celebrating the artistry of neighbours from Softwire. 🏳️🌈 June – We raised funds for the LGBT Foundation with a Pride Bake Sale, combining delicious treats and community spirit. We also hosted the Baltic Breakfast Club in Elevator, a networking opportunity for Elevator's residents and businesses to meet and collaborate. ✨ July – Hilton House showcased David Judge’s 'I Think I’m Nocturnal' work, exploring the thrill and fear of the city at night. 🌱October – Hilton House displayed Threads, an exhibition exploring identity and emotions, while supporting Turning Point’s community garden project in Manchester. We also welcomed PottyMCR, a small local business, for a plant pop-up. Residents and the public had the opportunity to brighten their spaces with beautiful plants while supporting a local business. 🎶 November – Sound & Vision at Elevator Studios offered an immersive journey into the connection between sound and visual art, benefiting Music in Mind’s Voices of Hope and Peace project, while Verses for Growth at Feel Good Club combined spoken word and live music to raise funds for Turning Point’s community garden. We also hit the trails for our Team Hike, bringing everyone together to enjoy nature and further support our charity partner. From art exhibitions to community fundraisers, and placemaking efforts that engage and transform spaces, 2024 has been filled with moments that showcase the power of connection, creativity, and care. #Placemaking #CommunityEngagement #BuildingCommunities #SupportLocalArtists #ArtExhibition

BuyAssociation really nailed it with this one. Sometimes, the old-school approach stands out and makes the right impact. Osborne Yard is already 80% sold.

Recently, our Community Engagement Marketing Manager, Johnny Villanueva, transformed one of our vacant offices at Elevator Studios into an art exhibition, hosting Sound & Vision: A Night of Art and Music. By repurposing unused spaces, we created a platform for creativity and connection, supported local artists and meaningful initiatives, and showcased the potential of our properties to adapt to diverse needs.

We’re proud to support meaningful initiatives that bring people together and make a difference. 🌟 For Manchester City Council’s Care Leavers End of Year Party, we reached out to Eat Well MCR, a charity renowned for providing delicious, chef-prepared meals to those in need across Greater Manchester. To support their catering efforts, we donated funds to this meaningful initiative.
