Residential excellence continues with Soho Yards winning Best Large Residential Project at the Insider South Yorkshire Property Awards. Last month, we welcomed visitors to the North of England Robotics Innovation Centre for an insightful tour and a chance to meet the robots. Our London hotel is progressing on site; its striking roof form is now visible on the skyline.

Spinners Yard
We’re excited to share the final photography of Spinners Yard in Leeds.

Construction continues at the Imperial Hotel on Russell Square. The roof form, inspired by the hotel’s historic façade, is now clearly visible on the skyline. The refurbishment of the 369 bedrooms is well underway, with opening scheduled for summer 2026.
North of England Robotics Innovation Centre Building
Last month as part of our ongoing work and knowledge sharing within the Higher Education and Sci-tech sector, we hosted a tour of our NERIC building at the University of Salford in collaboration with the staff of the facility.
