Regeneration

Heyford Park, Oxfordshire

Heyford Park, Oxfordshire

A former US Air Force base which has been decommissioned since 1994.  The site covers 1,231 acres and has circa 1.4m sq ft of residential and commercial accommodation.  Many of the buildings have been given ancient monument status due to the historical significance of the airbase as part of the Cold War.

In a Partnership with the Dorchester Group, Frogmore have prepared a new Master Plan which will bring a much needed facelift to the base.  The proposal is that many of the buildings will be retained and/or their uses changed to include a school, a cricket pitch and other community facilities to create a new village.  776 new homes (circa 396,000 sq ft) will also be built.

The Post Office, New Bond Street, Bath

The Post Office, New Bond Street, Bath

Situated in the centre of the World Heritage City of Bath, this Grade II listed former post office was largely unused for 10 years after the telephone exchange’s closure in the early 90’s.  The building was a landmark site and was given its listed status because of its historical and architectural importance.

The 27,862 sq ft scheme was carried out in 2005/2006 in Partnership with Future Heritage.  The building was converted and extended to provide a new Post Office, 7 retail units and 10 residential flats on the upper parts whilst retaining the existing Georgian and 1920’s buildings.

The Tramshed, Beehive Yard, Bath

Located within the main conservation area of the City of Bath, the tram sheds were originally built in 1820. Until the late 90’s, the former tram sheds and the foundry in Beehive Yard had been out of use for many decades.

The redevelopment involved the gutting of the existing building, retaining the external brick walls, and incorporating five storeys of accommodation. This included 24 apartments (approximately 25,000 sq ft), 19,146 sq ft of offices, 5,865 sq ft of restaurant space and new workshops for local tradesmen.

English Heritage were involved in the design of the development and Frogmore and Future Heritage were responsible for the delivery of the scheme through a Partnership.

Inverforth House, Hampstead, London

Inverforth House was built in the early 1800’s overlooking Hampstead Heath. The building had an interesting history thanks to its many illustrious owners. Most notable is Lord Leverhulme, the founder of Unilever who extensively remodelled and expanded the property and the grounds in 1904. It was subsequently awarded listed status. Lord Inverforth bought the estate in 1925 and bequeathed the house to the Industrial Orthopaedic Society where it remained in the ownership of the NHS until the late 1980's.

Frogmore purchased the site and sensitively converted the mansion into nine luxury apartments restoring many of the original features totalling approximately 52,000 sq ft.

All flats were sold and lettings included All Bar One, Bar Med and Fish.

Butlers Wharf, Shad Thames

Butlers Wharf, Shad Thames

Butler's Wharf was built 1871-73 as a shipping wharf and warehouse complex, accommodating goods unloaded from ships using the port of London. It contained what was reputedly the largest tea warehouse in the world. In 1972, along with the rest of the docks, the area fell into decline.

In Partnership with Galliard Homes, Frogmore created a new masterplan for the 11 acre estate which included 800 new high class residential units, 50,000 sq ft of commercial space and 1,200 car parking spaces.

A central piazza is the main focal point of the complex. The main road though the wharf, the strangely-named Shad Thames, still features the overhead goods gantries that once linked the warehouses together.
