A flagship project for Chelmsford’s city centre regeneration

A mixed-use, high-density project that would revitalise Chelmsford, we acted on behalf of the client during the acquisition, purchase and planning stages, and project managed the scheme until completion. The first part of the multi-phase development comprised of planning for over 600 new dwellings and 5,000 sq m of retail space, with a frontloaded provision of affordable housing – urgently needed in the area.

Throughout the decade-long project, we adapted the scheme to reflect the changing needs and face of the city. During the construction of the second phase of the project, we secured planning to change commercial space into residences to uplift the number of dwellings based on requirements of the market.

Utilising our close relationship with the planning authorities and Chelmsford Borough Council, we ensured that the project met the needs of the local community and elevated the standard of housing and new build projects in the city.
