HBD

🎬 Lights, camera, action… We're thrilled to be teaming up with The SPACE-2 Group in Birmingham, using our Neighbourhood building as a creative hub for some amazing TV and film projects! Rather than leave the building empty, we collaborated with SPACE-2 to provide a temporary studio facility, operating under the Camden Street Studios, supporting the local economy and creative sector. The team has since been working their magic in our space, bringing to life recent hit ITV shows like DI Ray and Joan (if you haven’t seen them yet, get them added to your January watch list!). SPACE-2 builds creative ecosystems by partnering with landowners, property companies, and SMEs; we specifically worked with their film and production division. They’re all about sustainability too, which makes them a perfect match for HBD and matches up with our own commitment to ESG. By collaborating with SPACE-2, we're putting our Neighbourhood site to good use before it officially transforms into 414 stylish and eco friendly one, two, and three bedroom apartments and duplexes in the thriving Jewellery Quarter. So, it’s a win win: creative production space now, and sustainable living spaces in the near future! 🌱🏡 Read more about the project in our blog here: https://lnkd.in/eqPAbRgR #HBDplaces #WhereGreatPlacesStart #Space2 #Birmingham #JewelleryQuarter Hannah Voogd Suelen Poyser Mark Hughes-Webb Louise White Cheryl Conlon The SPACE-2 Group Ltd

Dean Thompson, Director and head of region for the North West, shares his predictions for the property industry this year, noting that the ongoing reduction in interest rates should lead to an economic recovery, sharper yields, and improved sector viability. However, he remains curious about the effectiveness of the recent planning system changes in speeding up the process, which has historically been quite painful. https://lnkd.in/e-pDmb8b

Island, a joint venture between HBD and Greater Manchester Pension Fund, have donated 100 pandas to the children and babies of Manchester Children’s Hospital and hope to bring some Christmas spirit to the children and families who won’t be spending their Christmas at home. 🐼

As part of our Christmas campaign, we’re celebrating the partnerships that have been central to our success in 2024. None of what we’ve achieved this year would have been possible without the incredible support of our partners, both longstanding allies and exciting new collaborators. This includes educational partners such as Marcus Lord from The Manchester Metropolitan University, and we are proud to have supported his students, the next generation of property talent, this year. It also encompasses longstanding partners like Barnfield Construction Limited Construction and Markham Vale, with whom we celebrated 20 years of collaboration this year, as well as funding partners like Barings, with whom we have delivered highly sustainable industrial and logistics space at Momentum in London. This week, we also celebrate the launch of our new partnership with Feldberg Capital, with whom we’ve created Origin, a pioneering industrial and logistics platform. We look forward to further collaboration with all of our partners as we move into 2025! #HBDpartners #WhereGreatPlacesStart #WhereGreatStoriesStart #HBDChristmas

Origin has a commitment to creating environmentally responsible real estate that minimises carbon footprints and aligns with sustainability goals, while protecting health and wellbeing, and contributing to the local community surrounding every project. Our approach to impact centres on four key pillars: Community, Collaboration, Sustainability, and Innovation. In this film, we hear from HBD colleague Alex Temple and Jon Cochrane (MRICS), Director at Feldberg Capital who talk ESG. #Origin #FutureLogistics #HBD #FeldbergCapital

As part of our Christmas campaign, we’re shining a light on the stories that defined our year, and sustainability has been at the heart of everything we’ve achieved. Today, we’ll celebrate our commitment to the planet by sharing highlights such as Island’s exceptional carbon credentials and Momentum’s innovative green initiatives. And to complement this, we’ve created the Planet Playlist, packed with eco conscious songs to keep you motivated and inspired. 🌍🎶 Listen to it here. https://lnkd.in/ewMr9khw #HBDplanet #WhereGreatPlacesStart #WhereGreatStoriesStart #HBDChristmas #PlanetPlaylist

As part of our Christmas campaign, we’re celebrating the stories that make HBD special, and next up, it’s all about the people who bring our vision to life. In the words of our MD Ed Hutchinson: “Each and every person within the HBD team is at the heart of all that we do. We may be located up and down the country, working out of different offices, but we are one business, with a close-knit group of people collaborating regardless of geography.” Ed’s views resonate across our team, from colleagues who’ve been with us for years, to those who’ve joined us more recently, people like our apprentice George Mckimm who says his time at HBD has provided him with “amazing opportunities” adding “it’s blown my expectations out of the water.” To celebrate our people, we’ve paired today’s post with The People Playlist—a collection of tracks personally chosen by our team. And yes, their taste in music is every bit as impressive as their work… listen here!🎶✨ https://lnkd.in/eAHvUrpC #HBDpeople #WhereGreatPlacesStart #WhereGreatStoriesStart #HBDChristmas #PeoplePlaylist

🎄 Merry Christmas! 🎄 Our Christmas campaign kicks off today, and as we head to the end of the year, we’re celebrating some of our standout projects from 2024: Island in Manchester, Setl in Birmingham, and Momentum in London. We’ve reached great milestones at each of these places this year, securing a major letting at Island with the news that Virgin Media O2 would take 45,700sq ft across the top five floors of the building. At Setl, we have sold over 60% of the homes we are creating here. Milestones were abundant at our older projects too - including Markham Vale in Derbyshire, where we celebrated an incredible 20 year partnership! These remarkable places have redefined what it means to create sustainable, community focused spaces and have been such an integral part of our year. They’ve also inspired our Places playlist, which you can listen to here: https://lnkd.in/e54wTpnD A big thank you to everyone who shared their song suggestions! 🎶 Stay tuned this week to see what else we’re celebrating as we get ready for Christmas. #HBDplaces #WhereGreatPlacesStart #WhereGreatStoriesStart #HBDChristmas #PlacesPlaylist
