Urban Regeneration

The focus of our work is often at a strategic level - helping to guide the development of the overall framework and the general shape of the project. But we are also able to provide a smooth and efficient service in supporting the delivery of individual projects within the overall regeneration initiative. And we are right at the cutting edge of new models to finance regeneration in difficult economic conditions.

Coverage across all aspects of regeneration

We have a long-standing involvement with economic development agencies, employment/training organisations, and a wide range of third sector organisations operating at community level. This means that we are able to bring a unique perspective in helping to link all the necessary strands of regeneration.

Impressive client base

Our client base within this sector is impressive. We have set up five out of the six Urban Regeneration Companies (URCs) in Scotland, and we act for the private sector partner in relation to the sixth. We also act for a number of other regeneration bodies which do not have URC status, including major town centre regeneration projects such as Ayr Renaissance LLP. On the private sector side, we act for major private sector players in regeneration - both developers and funders - who recognise our specialist skills in this sector. Our current portfolio includes six major regeneration projects, each involving investment of over £350m - including the £1.6bn Clyde Gateway project.

Our practice includes a large number of agencies and organisations which tackle the wider aspects of regeneration - including Capital City Partnership, the Glasgow local development agencies, and employment/training organisations such as The Wise Group. We also act for large housing associations and community development trusts who are increasingly seen as major drivers of regeneration.
