With over 20 years of experience we have built up a diverse portfolio of developments, here is a sample of our recent case studies that demonstrate how we assessed the value and potential in a wide range of developments and transformed them.

Approx: GDV: £25,000,000

Case Study:
Holden Road
We identified this under utilised site off market, which was located in between two adjacent blocks of flats containing 50 and 40 flats respectively on a similar size footprint. The site is situated within the affluent area of Woodside Park benefiting from excellent transport facilities with Woodside Park underground station being opposite the site.
This site involved a complex land assembly combining independent freehold garages, land to the rear of the site, eight maisonettes together with the overall freehold.
Despite local opposition from local groups, HGS worked with the planners in consultation with the community to successfully deliver a planning consent for thirty-four luxury apartments, which addressed earlier concerns that were raised.
Status: Planning has been obtained for a thirty-four-unit luxury residential development plus associated underground car parking.

The AOP had been introduced to us by a contact and we agreed to team up with them to find a combined development and new home (Headquarters) for the AOP.
Despite the building being in employment use for many years without any vacant periods, HGS negotiated and successfully achieved planning permission within a unusually short period of time
Planning was obtained for nine luxury apartments with a new penthouse level and 12,000 sq. ft office space, which is now the headquarters building for the Association of Optometrists.
The residential units were developed with our partner for sale.
