Kenneth Booth September 23, 2025

CBRE Investment Management’s (CBRE IM) ambitious sustainability approach has been fulfilled, with the final BREEAM certification for 30 Semple Street being awarded at the top “Outstanding” level.   With a final score of 93.2%, this marks a number of significant achievements for the project as it becomes Scotland’s first BREEAM Outstanding-certified office building, Scotland’s highest-rated BREEAM building across all asset classes, and the second highest-scoring completed building refurbishment in the world, according to published BRE records. In addition to such other accreditations as NABERS 5*, “Platinum” scores for Air-Rated and Active Score, and an EPC “A”, the building is designed to achieve net zero carbon operation status in accordance with the UK Green Building Council’s framework definition. Zoe Gray, director at CBRE IM, commented: “Achieving the highest possible BREEAM rating for 30 Semple Street highlights our commitment to sustainability, future-proofing our assets, and delivering value to our occupiers and investors. We believe this office building embodies the future of work, providing a space designed to foster innovation and a high-quality, sustainable environment for our occupiers.” Nick Ball, managing director of Corran Properties, added: “We are delighted to have realised CBRE IM’s and our ambitions to create a genuinely class-leading office development. To have achieved such a high level of BREEAM accreditation is testament to the dedication of the entire design team who ensured every possible detail was considered in order for the building to operate as sustainably as possible.” Designed by MLA Architects, the redevelopment of 30 Semple Street comprised the strip-back to bare frame of the former office building on the site, the addition of two new floors, as well as a stunning 360-degree contemporary façade. The building has flexible floorplates up to 8,040 sq. ft. and an abundance of natural light and opening windows. The design team also included mechanical and electrical engineering consultancy K J Tait, project management and cost consultancy Axiom Services Limited, structural and civil engineering consultancy Blyth & Blyth, and Atelier Ten as fire engineering consultants. Ogilvie Construction was the main contractor. Cuthbert White and Knight Frank are marketing the remaining 25,000 sq. ft. of space in the property.

Kenneth Booth September 23, 2025

Leading office interior design consultancy, OP, has completed the refurbishment of Cooper Parry’s Manchester office. The six-week project has transformed 15,000 sq ft of existing office space, creating a workplace with a homely feel that brings elements of Manchester into the design. The refurbishment features a business lounge welcome area with a lounging feel that leads to the client suite. The space includes east and west wings with predominantly open plan desking, and a north wing with a mixture of open plan desking and the Orangery – an extension of the social area featuring gaming facilities including pool table, darts and ping pong, paired with various seating settings. The project has retained and celebrated the building’s original features, including parquet flooring and exposed services. The design approach emphasised sustainability through extensive reuse of existing elements including desks, task chairs, existing glazing, and minimal new partitioning. The original parquet flooring was retained and polished, with repairs made where walls had been removed. Room naming incorporates Manchester references developed with the client team, including meeting rooms called the Hacienda and the Mill. The design features Manchester’s bee culture as you enter the business lounge area. The space includes biophilia and planting throughout, with layered design elements including wallpaper, patterns, and pendant lighting replacing standard office lighting to create texture and visual interest. The project was completed while staff remained working in the building, with phasing across four areas to minimise disruption. “Our vision for Cooper Parry’s Manchester office was to create a workspace that feels authentically connected to the city while maintaining the warmth and comfort of home. “ Emily Cowgill, Designer at OP “We’re delighted with the transformed space. It looks fantastic and has been very well received by everyone in the office.” Jo Giles, Head of Facilities at Cooper Parry  Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

John Sisk & Son Chief Executive confirmed as new Build UK Chair

Kenneth Booth September 23, 2025

Build UK, the leading representative body for the UK construction industry, has confirmed the appointment of Paul Brown, Chief Executive of John Sisk & Son, as its new Chair in its 10th anniversary year. Previously Vice Chair of Build UK after joining the Board in 2022, Paul brings more than 25 years of leadership experience to the role. He is a civil engineer with a deep commitment to the power of construction to change lives and create a better future, and his election by members reflects Build UK’s central role in driving forward the industry priorities that support all sectors within UK construction. Paul’s appointment was confirmed alongside the rest of the Board at today’s AGM, where members heard directly from the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, the Right Honourable James Murray MP, who outlined the Government’s ambition and commitment to deliver and maintain £725 billion of economic and social infrastructure over the next decade as set out in its 10-Year Infrastructure Strategy. Paul succeeds Julie White, Managing Director of D-Drill & Sawing which is a member of the Drilling and Sawing Association (DSA), who has successfully led Build UK for the past two years and steps down with the thanks of the Board and members. In his first speech to Build UK members at the AGM, Paul said: “Taking on the role of Build UK Chair at such a pivotal time for our industry is a huge privilege. Construction is taking an increasingly integrated approach to infrastructure planning, improving the way we deliver projects, and driving forward the highest standards of building safety. “Build UK has a vital role to play in supporting these priorities, and I look forward to working with members across the supply chain to deliver change and demonstrate the positive impact of construction on the economy and local communities across the UK.” Build UK Chief Executive Suzannah Nichol OBE welcomed Paul’s appointment, saying: “We are delighted to have Paul as our new Chair. By bringing the whole industry together around the same table, Build UK has demonstrated that it can successfully respond to the issues we face, such as the new building safety regime, and Paul’s leadership and experience will be invaluable as we navigate the opportunities and challenges ahead. “I would also like to thank Julie for her outstanding contribution over the past two years and for all her support in representing the industry since she was first elected to the Board 10 years ago.” Build UK has also appointed two new Board members – Skanska’s President and CEO Katy Dowding, and Lee Rowswell from GKR Scaffolding which is a member of the National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) – who alongside the existing members of the Board will ensure Build UK continues to represent the breadth and depth of the sector.

Humber Freeport welcomes green light for major Goole tax site developments

Humber Freeport welcomes green light for major Goole tax site developments

Kenneth Booth September 22, 2025

Humber Freeport has welcomed planning approval for two major developments within the Freeport’s Goole tax site in East Yorkshire. East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Planning Committee has granted full planning permission to Finnish manufacturer Metsä Tissue and commercial property developer Wykeland Group to create the UK’s largest tissue paper mill, together with office space and associated infrastructure. The facility, which will extend to around three million sq ft of space once complete, will be built in phases, supporting up to 400 direct jobs and creating a breadth of supply chain opportunities. It aims to increase the UK’s self-sufficiency in the manufacture of essential tissue products by more than 30 per cent. At the same Planning Committee meeting, Henry Boot Developments (HBD) and landowner St John’s College Cambridge received outline planning consent for an industrial and manufacturing park. That development sits on the south side of the Goole tax site, separated from the Metsä plot by the M62 motorway, and will create more than five million sq ft of industrial space. The site could accommodate buildings from 40,000 sq ft to one million sq ft. Both planning approvals are subject to conditions and the signing of legal agreements. Professor Neal Juster, Interim Chair of Humber Freeport, said: “This is another very significant step forward for Humber Freeport, and for the two large-scale developments within our Goole tax site. It adds to the powerful momentum behind the Freeport. “For Goole, it is further recognition of the strength of the investment proposition in the town. Its strategic location, connectivity and infrastructure make it an ideal location to invest, creating high-quality direct employment and supply chain opportunities. “We’re delighted to see Metsä Tissue and Wykeland Group secure planning permission for the tissue paper mill. It is an important investment not just for Goole, but for the wider region, boosting the Humber’s credentials as a hotbed for advanced, sustainable manufacturing. “A further economic uplift will be created by HBD and St John’s College Cambridge’s industrial and manufacturing park. Outline permission for this industrial cluster will enable the developers to market specific opportunities and take forward the strong pipeline of enquiries for the site.” Goole is one of three Humber Freeport tax sites, alongside Hull East and Able Humber Port, near Immingham. The Goole site offers exceptional transport links and connectivity via road, rail and sea, and sits adjacent to existing developments from leading businesses including Siemens Mobility, Tesco and Guardian Glass. Investing in a freeport tax site provides businesses with a range of incentives, ranging from enhanced capital allowances and employer National Insurance contributions to stamp duty land tax relief. The two newly-approved developments in Goole underline the strategic importance of Humber Freeport in attracting inward investment to the region, creating jobs, driving innovation and sustainable growth.

Cityheart–Willmott Dixon team picked to map Darlington town centre revival

Cityheart–Willmott Dixon team picked to map Darlington town centre revival

Kenneth Booth September 22, 2025

Darlington Borough Council has appointed a consortium led by Cityheart, with Willmott Dixon, Space Architects, Identity Consult and others, to shape a regeneration strategy for three town centre sites. The team will explore development options for East Street, Commercial Street and Kendrew Street, setting out a long-term approach to be presented to the council’s cabinet early next year. The East Street site sits next to the new HM Treasury offices within Darlington’s Economic Campus. Willmott Dixon is already active locally, building a 600-space multi-storey car park by the railway station, recently completing the Hopetown visitor attraction and refurbishing the Hippodrome Theatre. Nick Corrigan, northeast director at Willmott Dixon, said the partnership is the kind of town centre transformation where its regeneration expertise “can make a real difference”, adding the company is committed to delivering development that benefits the local community. Cllr Chris McEwan, cabinet member for economy, called the appointment “a huge step forward” with the potential to be one of the town centre’s most significant improvement programmes in years. Cityheart development manager James Litherland said Darlington’s prospects have been boosted by the Treasury relocation: “We have pulled together an exemplar North East team including construction partner Willmott Dixon and we cannot wait to get started on this transformational project.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

Aldi’s £1.6bn push: 80 new stores to bring discount closer to millions

Aldi’s £1.6bn push: 80 new stores to bring discount closer to millions

Kenneth Booth September 22, 2025

Aldi has set out an ambitious plan to open 80 new UK stores over the next two years as part of a £1.6bn investment in its estate, sharpening competition on the high street and widening access to low-cost groceries. The supermarket says 21 branches will open in the next 13 weeks alone, including Shoreditch in London, Durham in the North East and Kirkintilloch in Scotland. The expansion builds on momentum from the past year and supports Aldi’s long-term ambition to operate 1,500 stores nationwide. It currently runs 1,060 supermarkets across the UK, meaning the programme would take the discounter a significant step closer to its target while improving geographic coverage in areas where consumer demand remains strong. Earlier this year Aldi named 20 priority locations where it is actively seeking sites, among them Bromley and Ealing in Greater London, South Shields in Tyne and Wear, and Witney in Oxfordshire. The retailer’s approach typically focuses on convenient, accessible plots that can serve dense residential catchments, pairing everyday value with straightforward store layouts and ample parking. Financial results for the 12 months to December 2024 underline the scale of the operation. Sales rose to £18.1bn, up from £17.9bn in 2023, reflecting sustained shopper appetite for keen pricing and own-label innovation. The latest investment aims to lock in that loyalty by making stores easier to reach and by refreshing parts of the existing estate alongside new openings. Giles Hurley, chief executive officer for Aldi UK and Ireland, said: “Since we opened our first UK store over 35 years ago, we’ve brought high-quality, affordable groceries to almost 800 towns and cities, but there are hundreds more communities that don’t have an Aldi nearby. We’re more determined than ever to meet that demand, and that’s why we’re investing a record £1.6bn over the next two years, to bring Aldi prices closer to millions more customers.” The near-term pipeline of 21 stores suggests a balanced mix of city, town and suburban locations, a pattern that has helped the brand broaden its appeal from weekly family shops to top-up missions and convenience-led baskets. A steady drumbeat of openings over two years should also allow supply chains, recruitment and training to ramp in step with customer demand. For landlords and local authorities, Aldi’s plans signal continued confidence in bricks-and-mortar retail, especially in neighbourhoods that value everyday essentials at competitive prices. For shoppers, the outcome is straightforward: more choice on where to buy the weekly shop, and greater pressure on rivals to keep prices sharp. As the cost of living remains a live concern for many households, the discounter’s expansion will be closely watched across the sector. With a clear store-opening timetable and significant capital committed, Aldi is positioning itself to capture more market share while staying true to the formula that has underpinned its rise: simplicity, efficiency and value.

Gatwick gets go-ahead: £2.2bn plan to bring second runway into full use

Gatwick gets go-ahead: £2.2bn plan to bring second runway into full use

Kenneth Booth September 22, 2025

The transport secretary has signed a development consent order for Gatwick Airport’s £2.2bn expansion, clearing the way to bring the standby northern runway into full operational use. Capacity is expected to rise from around 280,000 flights a year to approximately 389,000 by the late 2030s. The privately financed, “shovel-ready” project pivots on shifting the northern runway’s centreline 12 metres north, enabling dual-runway operations in line with international safety standards. A five-year build will also deliver terminal extensions, a new aircraft pier, an extension to an existing pier, and new flyovers to segregate local and airport road traffic, easing congestion. Further works include new passenger facilities, car parking, offices and hotels. Gatwick submitted its application to the Planning Inspectorate in July 2023; the Inspectorate reported to the secretary of state on 27 November 2024. In February, transport secretary Heidi Alexander said she was minded to approve subject to strengthened noise mitigation. Those conditions have now been satisfied and development consent has been granted. The airport is owned 50.01% by French construction group Vinci and 49.99% by Global Infrastructure Partners, the US infrastructure investor. Gatwick says the programme will unlock extra capacity within its existing footprint while supporting long-term regional growth.

Microsoft’s £11bn UK data centre surge to include nation’s largest supercomputer

Microsoft’s £11bn UK data centre surge to include nation’s largest supercomputer

Kenneth Booth September 22, 2025

Microsoft will invest £11bn in new UK digital infrastructure, building additional data centres and the country’s largest supercomputer. The commitment forms half of a wider £22bn programme for 2025–2028, with the balance supporting ongoing UK operations. The plan targets rapid growth in AI capacity, with new hyperscale sites, larger GPU clusters and resilient power and cooling. For the construction and property sectors, it signals a multi-year pipeline of mission-critical projects demanding fast delivery, robust grid connections, sustainable design and stringent security. Microsoft president Brad Smith linked the decision to government moves on planning reform, electricity capacity and regulatory stability, arguing that clarity builds confidence for responsible AI investment. Prime minister Keir Starmer hailed the announcement as a vote of confidence in the UK’s technology leadership, highlighting the potential for highly skilled jobs and stronger national infrastructure. Site locations have not been disclosed, but selection is expected to hinge on substation proximity, fibre connectivity, water stewardship and opportunities to procure low-carbon power. Expect designs to face close scrutiny on energy efficiency, heat re-use, refrigerants, embodied carbon and circular fit-out. Beyond the sheds, the ripple effects typically include grid upgrades, logistics facilities and skills programmes, often clustering near universities and advanced manufacturing corridors. Delivery at pace will rely on experienced critical-environment contractors, modular plant strategies and rigorous commissioning. The supercomputer is strategically significant: sovereign AI compute improves performance, data governance and resilience for research, industry and public services. If planning reforms and grid upgrades translate into smooth delivery on the ground, the prize is substantial — a deeper skills base, a stronger platform for AI-enabled growth and a durable digital backbone for the next decade.
