Overview
A residential turnaround benchmark for upgrading social housing into a higher-performing asset.
Why the case matters
Conversion projects concentrate risk at the interfaces between existing structure, new services, planning, residents, logistics and procurement. Early clarity protects both programme and social value.
Operating lessons
- Investigate existing conditions before fixing cost and programme assumptions.
- Control design interfaces and resident or stakeholder constraints explicitly.
- Sequence procurement around information maturity rather than target dates alone.
Technical parameters
- Facade and MEP modernisation; minimal structural intervention with balconies/dormers
- GBA / scale: 12,000 m²; 108 moderate-rent homes
- Delivery model: Office-to-residential conversion (social housing)
- Security / parking: 110 car spaces; 246 cycle spaces
