Former Peterborough District Hospital
We worked with the NHS on a deal structure that suited their need to release much needed capital by redeveloping a redundant hospital site in Peterborough city centre into 350 new homes and a new primary school.

We demolished hospital and ancillary buildings while retaining and preserving listed buildings along with landscaping and the necessary remediation works which were undertaken to deliver ready-to-build development parcels to the market.
The project, from the outline application, through to planning, on-site works and sales was completed in just under three years. The Grade II listed building known as The Gables, and two other buildings of significant local importance (The Memorial Wing and 60-62 Thorpe Road) are now the focal point of the new community established at the site.
All demolished building material was recycled on site to create useable, engineered fill material which was used to backfill a vast amount of the site’s below-ground basements and tunnels.
The primary-school land was prepared and handed over to Peterborough Council and the serviced, residential land parcels were sold to Weston Homes and Kier Residential.
