Overview
We help shape places people want to visit, live in and invest in.
Retail and mixed-use projects are complex. They must respond to shifting consumer habits, economic pressure and planning challenges, all at once.
That’s where we come in.
We guide clients from first sketch to final opening. Our teams bring commercial focus, technical precision and the ability to manage risk at every turn. The result? Developments that perform financially and feel alive from day one.
Section title
We’ve delivered landmark projects in major city centres and fast-growing global hubs.
We’re bringing our retail and mixed-use expertise to a landmark sustainable development on Shanghai’s West Bund. The project includes offices, homes, shops, a hotel and sports facilities. All designed to near net zero energy standards. We’re managing costs, advising on low-carbon materials and systems, and helping Hongkong Land deliver a smarter, greener future.
In the UK, we have a long history of working on some of the country’s best-known retail and leisure developments. Our team has provided cost management, project management and other services on projects such as Bluewater, Trinity Leeds and Westfield London.
Our capabilities
From strategy to handover, we know what it takes to deliver successful retail and mixed-use projects.
We help clients get the most from their investment by applying a “design to budget” approach. This ensures your creative vision is grounded in financial reality.
We also support planning applications with detailed cost plans and robust risk assessments. During construction, we manage live cost and programme data to keep everything on course.
We test ideas early so clients can make confident decisions. Our cost modelling and optioneering show what works — and what doesn’t — by matching design options to budgets and tenant needs. It’s a fast, focused way to check viability and shape developments that perform commercially from day one.
In major shopping centres, we also help clients make the most of existing tenant space. Through cut and carve, clients can introduce new retail tenants, food and beverage units and leisure initiatives. This keeps the tenant mix fresh and makes their asset a destination.
And we understand the nuances of mixed use. We manage phasing, decanting and the complex interfaces between residential, retail and public spaces. So everything fits together, functionally and financially.
Working with us
You’ll always know where your project stands.
We provide clear dashboards, early risk alerts and integrated controls. Our teams align strategy with delivery, giving you confidence that quality, budget and timeline are under control.
We adapt quickly, too. Whether it’s a tenant change, a shift in economic conditions or a design evolution, we stay responsive. You get a partner who listens, anticipates and acts.
And because we embed transparency throughout, you can trust that commercial outcomes and placemaking goals stay aligned.
