I'm thrilled to share the exciting news about an exclusive, game-changing partnership between Pioneer Group, The Crown Estate, and Oxford Science Enterprises. This marks the start of a partnership that has a long-term ambition to invest up to £1.5 billion to support the UK’s science, technology and innovation sectors.   In our initial project together, we are transforming a former retail site in central Oxford into a state-of-the-art 100,000 sq ft innovation hub.    This development is in a unique city centre position in one of the fastest growing ecosystems in the world. The repurposing of an existing disused department store is a crucial step towards providing the high-quality infrastructure needed to support Oxford's thriving science, technology and innovation sectors.   This is a culmination of months of hard work to form a partnership with multiple colleagues, specialists and consultants involved. A huge thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly to forge this strategy. I am looking forward to potential further projects in Oxford with Oxford Science Enterprises, and across the UK with The Crown Estate.    It can not be understated how this was an enormous team effort, to name a few; some special thanks to my colleagues, members of the Oxford Science Enterprises and The Crown Estate team; Richard O'Boyle Toby Reid James Evans James Latham Tom Sheldon Pete Wilder Jim Wilkinson Alex Hammacher Matthew Weiner Geoff Ford Ben Brinded Matt Fitter. From a property perspective, it has been great being advised by Joe Wall at HampsonWall, Nick Stewart at STEERFORTH LIMITED, Sam Potts at Bidwells, Raj Deb & Daniel Parker at Perkins&Will, Greenberg Traurig, LLP, CMS & Simmons & Simmons on the legals and JLL on partnership advisory. It was also a pleasure to work with Savills and DTZ Investors on the other side of the deal. Exciting times ahead - watch this space!
