Event Information:

This webinar will focus specifically on historic buildings – from large scale restorations to the regeneration of heritage buildings into new homes and employment hubs, ensuring we don’t lose unique and historical assets.

Those working heavily in the sector will, through a series of short presentations and Q&A, reveal details on their latest projects, plans and the work they’re doing. Rokeby Developers are one of those bringing forward an impressive regeneration in Gloucester, whilst the City of London Corporation are leading on a £140m project museum project. And with over 300 properties under their umbrella Historic Environment Scotland will be able to highlight the best opportunities which lie in the country.

Speakers for this event include:

• Historic Environment Scotland – with 300 historic properties under their umbrella, George is responsible for the upkeep, development and investment into much of Historic Environment Scotland’s estate with the mission to protect their integrity so future generations can enjoy them for decades to come. He will talk about some of the forthcoming property related projects, their position on engaging with the private sector supply chain and their importance in to Scottish government placemaking strategy.

• City of London Corporation – one of the major funders behind the Museum of London’s £140m relocation and redevelopment, the City of London place heritage preservation at the heart of everything they do. With numerous sites of national importance under their due restriction Joanna will talk about the complexities of delivering heritage related development projects in the City and give a glimpse of the major economic benefits of the museum’s new site.

• Rokeby Developments – are experts in the realm of sensitively developing and restoring heritage buildings and are in the midst of a multi-phase re-purposing of the Bakers Quay in Gloucester. Phase one of the project was deemed by critics as a massive success story and Adrian has now set his sights on delivering the same success for the Downing Malthouse set of buildings which will include the creation of a new apartment building and other mixed use assets.

• Qmile Group – Edinburgh-based property developer Qmile Group has significant expertise on large scale regeneration projects and in restoring and converting historic buildings. Qmile Group is responsible for the £750m mixed-use Quartermile development located on the former Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh site in the city centre. One of Scotland’s largest ever regeneration projects, Quartermile includes seven Category B listed Victorian building conversions completed by Qmile Group. At present, Qmile Group is delivering a £150m residential development, Craighouse, in south west Edinburgh. The oldest building on the development, Old Craig, which dates back to 1528, is an outstanding six-bedroom period property. Qmile Group is also currently converting the Category A listed Baronial-style New Craig, a building which was completed in 1894, in to 45 apartments. Qmile Group’s chief executive, Paul Curran, will discuss both developments and explain his company’s distinct approach to undertaking and delivering regeneration and restoration projects.
