Example Projects previously managed by Simon Dawkins and Dawkins & Co

Merchant Village, Glasgow
This project emerged from the speculative acquisition of a disused department store on the edge of Glasgow's core shopping area and within the historic Merchant City. The initial acquisition was followed by two other substantial purchases and a large number of small lease negotiations which created a site of some 3.25 acres. Planning consent for 324 apartments, 220,000 sq ft of retail space and 170 car parking spaces was granted and the site sold to Selfridges at a substantial profit for use as a new flagship store. This deal won the Scottish property deal of the year award. The project team included Conran Design as Architects, Tozer Capita as Quantity Surveyors and Griffin Webster as agents.

Camden - Industrial Unit
Together with our partners European Urban Developments we identified this site as having potential for a mixed use scheme including new office accommodation and affordable accommodation. The site was acquired speculatively with Acton Housing and will be developed by them upon grant of planning consent.

Owen Street Car Park - Manchester
Speculative acquisition of a car park extending to some 3.25 acres on the south side of Manchester City Centre. Working with two project teams including Ian Simpson and Partners and Elder and Cannon as architects, planning consent was granted for two phases totaling 400 apartments, basement parking and retail space. With in principal consent for a further two phases of similar mass the valuation of the property was more than doubled over 24 months.
