Development set up is the vital collaborative link between the development, asset and management teams, ensuring a seamless approach to delivering an effective and operationally efficient end development from as early as planning RIBA Stage 2.
Thinking about how a mixed use scheme will ultimately be managed has to start long before the practical completion.
The Savills Development Set up team have provided a first class service from planning stage through to project completion at Borough Yards. Their initiative, troubleshooting and wealth of mixed-use experience ensured the project was delivered seamlessly through an evolving climate.
James Moody, Managing Director of MARK
Our specialist advice has been shown to alleviate problems and delays in the development process, to identify cost savings and to help in the smooth transition from a development site to a working asset.
Our dedicated team works across mixed use, trophy offices, life science, residential and retail destinations, and liaises closely with the client’s asset management, leasing, development and design teams to move schemes smoothly forward through all the key development lifecycle.
We have a diverse and deep range of expertise, across legal, financial, design and operational management. Our particular strengths in design for management include precedent lease reviews, service charges, benchmarking, management strategies and handbooks, ESG, guest and amenities services, digital strategies, smart buildings, repurposing and mobilisation, all of which allows us to have a hands-on approach in delivering mixed use schemes and ultimately driving efficiencies.
The team has worked on some of the most prominent retail-led and mixed use development schemes UK wide in recent years, including Battersea Power Station; 8 Bishopsgate; The Whiteley and St James Quarter in Edinburgh, gaining experience and insights which can be of real value to clients, present and future.
