High Street Group's Angel Living
We have supported High Street Group and their PRS arm Angel Living group outside of their North East region and expand across the North and into the West Midlands. With a number of schemes underway including Liverpool Street, Salford (127 units) and Westminster Works, Birmingham (220 units), we have grown our service support, and now each of our divisions has helped inform the organisation.
Central to our support has been to ensure that all our team understand the client goals, and communicate consistently to the capital developments executive, to share programme and project updates at regular gateway reviews. We have become a preferred consultant due to our open and transparent reporting.
We have assisted the client with various management processes, and techniques including introducing appropriate contract amendments to their standard agreements with contractors. Our rights of lights team have extracted value from schemes and maximised site density.
We have run workshops with the team to establish standard employer’s requirements and preliminaries, drawing upon our experience in the PRS/investor market to best protect the developer and investor. This has included an analysis of construction methodologies, programme reviews, and Exit strategies.
Drees & Sommer have built a strong knowledge of how the client wishes to deal with developments and can fully assist with a minimum of briefing and discussion, leading to quick appointments and delivery of the required services.
Our expertise and connections with solicitors has resolved all neighbourly matters quickly and to the funders full satisfaction, ensuring that funding agreements are put in place early.
