Cole River Park, Birmingham

The five acre site in Tyseley, Birmingham, was bought a number of years ago as a high yielding industrial investment. The site was then redeveloped after securing a 7 figure grant from Advantage West Midlands.

The estate comprises 3 high specification industrial / warehouse units totaling 70,000 sq ft. Each unit was provided with office accommodation, designated parking and secure self contained service yards. Both units 1 and 2 were sold before practical completion and unit 3 was sold 6 months thereafter.

Cole River Park has been a great success, not only for Midland Assured but for the local area, where it has brought many new jobs to an area where they are desperately needed.

39 Warwick Street, Leamington Spa

The 5-storey Grade II listed Regency building and its outbuildings were bought in February 2009 for a mixed-use scheme comprising high quality retail and student accommodation around an inner courtyard.
 
At the time of purchase the building was occupied by a struggling pet shop, and the three floors above ground floor were very much under used and dilapidated. The outbuildings were also dilapidated to the extent that Warwick District Council had threatened to condemn them as uninhabitable.
 
The first phase of Midland Assured’s redevelopment was to separate and refurbish the main building to create three floors of student accommodation above a stand-alone retail unit with its ancillary basement storage.  This phase of the project was completed within 8 months of the purchase.

Phase two of the redevelopment has now completed and involved the partial demolition and extension of the curtilage listed coach house to create two student apartments, with seven bedrooms at ground floor and five at first. These have been let to Warwick University from September 2010.
 

Regent Street, Leamington Spa

Following the purchase of this derelict site it has been developed into two high specification student flats which have been let to Warwick University for the current academic year. Planning has been submitted to further develop 32 student rooms on the empty plot at the rear of the site.

The retail units below are currently being marketed and available as four separate units, but could also be considered as a whole

Market Place, Warwick

Following the collapse of the Woolworths stores this key site in the centre of Warwick was left vacant.

After undergoing complete refurbishment and division into two smaller retail units, the site was subsequently let to two national chains, Costa Coffee and The Factory Shop, once more revitalising the area.
