450 Build to Rent Units

A framework to deliver a pipeline of 10,000 build-to-rent units across the UK.

Bristow Consulting have been appointed on a 2nd cost management commission following appointment to major retailer’s framework to deliver 10,000 residential Build to Rent units.

The scheme consists of 450 Build to Rent units alongside a basement, landscaped podium, multi storey car park and the demolition and rebuild of the existing retail store and leisure centre to create a best-in-class rental product with key design differentiators in comparison to market competitors, consisting of the following;

Biophilic Design
Exceptional internal living and shared amenity spaces
Larger than average bedrooms
Flexible internal spaces
Deliver the highest standard of sustainability credentials
Reduction in operational energy

Site phasing and logistics are complex based on the decant of the existing store and demolition of the adjacent leisure centre. The works will also include for use of a temporary car park whilst also having to deal with a live railway line to the north of the site. Therefore, we have engaged with a specialist consultancy to review programme, phasing and the logistics strategy to inform our allowances for Main Contractor Preliminaries to ensure we have a robust position which can be tested for viability approval.
