CRE to bring Poole development to life

CRE are working with a landowner to bring forward the development at West Quay Marina, Poole.

After being appointed as a Development Manager, Change Real Estate have so far implemented the existing planning consent, which was achieved via a non-material planning application, varying 8 planning conditions.

As part of the involvement, Change Real Estate found a design solution that allowed use of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) in order to create a more sustainable and cost-effective development. They have also worked with the local planning authority to seek minor changes to the elevations and roof profiles partly to accommodate legal requirements post Grenfell and partly due to the use of MMC.

Change Real Estate also de-risked the project by pre-selling a large number of units on a fully funded basis and has found a long term funding partner for the development in Homes England.

As part of the work, the developer appointed a contractor via a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) who was able to work with MMC and preferred professional team, whilst adhering to our cost plan and programme.

The PCSA anticipates a start on site early 2022.
