CBRE Takes Lead Role in Urban Brownfield Regeneration Development

CB Richard Ellis’ Central Southern Development Department continues to lead the way in advising its landowner and developer clients on both disposal and acquisition mandates of major brownfield redevelopment sites across the South.

Assistant Development Surveyor, James Shelley comments:
“Government is continuing to encourage brownfield regeneration and CBRE promotes and supports many projects throughout the Region. We work with some of the South’s leading housebuilders and developers promoting and bringing forward sites that would benefit from redevelopment. In addition, we advise some of the largest landowners on best practice when they are looking to dispose of surplus property assets.

oGales Brewery, Horndean – advising Fuller Smith & Turner PLC on this major Village centre regeneration project,
