When we acquired this 6,000 sq.ft property on a competitive basis in 2017 it was divided into 11 self-contained studio flats. We immediately saw its potential, and worked with architects to create an additional 3,450 sq.ft of usable space. Alongside a new basement and an extra storey, we inserted a new steel frame within the building to support new mezzanine floors. The final result was 15 new self-contained flats for rental which have been retained within the Cowell Group portfolio.

Cowell Group successfully acquired this redundant warehouse in trendy Shoreditch – formerly a stable for the Stag Brewery. The building had been used as artist studios and backed onto a busy railway line, and despite the site’s complexities we worked with consultant architects and engineers to secure planning and Railtrack consent for a 144-bed hotel with retail and restaurant use.

When we acquired two unmodernised properties by private treaty on one of Hampstead’s most sought after streets, the old houses were being used as offices by a well-known charity. The charity remained in situ for two years while it developed a new headquarters building, after which time we successfully obtained planning consent for two homes.
