The technical due diligence process for the Crown Estate’s acquisition of this major regional shopping destination to identify any inherent and potential cost risks needed a sensitive and pragmatic approach.

Associated with the acquisition was the refurbishment of the site and its extension to accommodate a new 3000m² Debenhams store. Our TDD work helped remove many of the potential cost and programme risks from this £3m development of the site

With high levels of footfall every day, trading and public access needed to be maintained throughout – the retail park remained fully operational for the duration of the works.

The development of the new Debenhams store, combined with the other refurbishment work increased the asset value and footfall.
