Hammerson has signed a second flagship deal with UNIQLO, bringing the Japanese retailer to Cabot Circus in Bristol. The two-storey unit will provide around 15,000 sq ft of tradable space and stock womenswear, menswear and childrenswear, including the brand’s signature LifeWear collections—available in the South West for the first time. The letting builds on leasing momentum at Cabot Circus, where M&S is due to open later this year and ODEON is set to follow in 2026. It also follows Hammerson’s agreement with UNIQLO at Birmingham’s Bullring earlier this year, with the brand making its Midlands debut next month. Paul O’Brien, director of leasing and commercialisation at Hammerson, said UNIQLO’s investment in both destinations “highlights the confidence that leading retailers have in Hammerson, and the unmatched quality of our destinations,” adding that prime, city-centre locations continue to attract “best-in-class global brands seeking regional flagships”. Alessandro Dudech, chief operating officer of UNIQLO UK, said the move forms part of a nationwide expansion across physical stores and ecommerce. “We are pleased to introduce UNIQLO to the communities and visitors in the South West at Bristol’s Cabot Circus,” he noted, highlighting LifeWear’s focus on quality, simplicity and functionality. For Cabot Circus, the arrival of a high-profile international brand adds further weight to a refreshed fashion and leisure mix, strengthening its draw across the region.

Sentinel attracts significant investor interest Lismore Real Estate Advisors (Lismore) is pleased to announce the successful sale of Sentinel, one of Glasgow’s most recognisable office buildings, in a significant investment transaction that underscores growing confidence in the city’s office investment market. Lismore advised Ardstone Capital investment managers on behalf of the Ardstone Regional Office Fund a joint venture with CBRE IM on the £19.60m sale to Clydebuilt II Limited Partnership (CLP II), a joint venture between Scottish property company Ediston and Strathclyde Pension Fund (SPF). Prominently located on the corner of Waterloo Street and Douglas Street, Sentinel is a Grade A landmark office building offering high-quality and flexible accommodation, extending to 84,095 sq ft over ground and 9 upper floors, together with 26 secure basement car parking spaces. The prime asset has undergone comprehensive refurbishment, with the most recent works completed in 2022. It now offers superior sustainability credentials, including an all-electric specification, EPC ‘A’ rating and WiredScore ‘Gold’ certification. Through this repositioning, Ardstone attracted a high calibre of occupiers including JLL, DWF, Chubb, Aggreko and Sedgewick International. Commenting on the sale, Simon Cusiter, Director of Lismore said: “The sale of Sentinel represents one of the most notable office investment transactions in Glasgow city centre this year, reinforcing investor appetite for prime, income-producing assets in Scotland’s largest city. Ardstone Capital repositioned the building, helping attract high quality tenants and providing a platform for future performance. The quality of the building was highlighted by the competitive nature of the sale process” Calum Bruce, Fund Manager of CLP II said: “Sentinel provides Clydebuilt with an attractive income stream which can be further improved through active asset management and the letting of the vacant floors. In a market with a limited supply of high-quality office accommodation, Sentinel is an attractive opportunity for tenants looking for new premises, with good interest already being shown by prospective occupiers.” Lismore Real Estate Advisors represented Ardstone Regional Office Fund.

A leading housing association has submitted plans for its biggest ever development in Gloucestershire. Bromford is seeking permission to build 217 new homes on a 19.5 acre site in Matson, close to the M5 motorway. The site had previously been granted outline planning permission by Gloucester City Council in 2022 but Bromford has now submitted the final details of how it will build the new homes to the council. The Tewkesbury-based housing association is proposing a mixed tenure development of rented, shared ownership and market sale homes on the land to the south of Corncroft Lane. The development will feature a blend of one- and two-bedroom flats and terraced, semi-detached and detached two-, three- and four-bedroom houses. The finished development will include areas of open green space as well as allotments and play areas. Bromford’s Project Manager Corrina Johnson said: “This is our biggest ever development in Gloucestershire and we’re proud that it will provide a wide range of homes for hundreds of local families. From affordable rent to shared ownership and homes for sale, this scheme has been designed to meet the needs of the whole community. “We know that the need for high quality, affordable housing in Gloucestershire has never been greater, which is why developments like this are so important. We’ve worked hard to draw up plans that will create a vibrant community of modern, energy efficient homes, with plenty of green space, where people will be able to live and thrive. “We’re excited to see this project take shape and believe it will bring real, long-term benefits to Matson, from supporting local families to helping the city grow sustainably.” Subject to getting approval from the city council Bromford’s in-house construction team aims to start work in 2026. Homes would be completed in phases between 2027 and 2030. The Matson site is Bromford’s latest large scale development in Gloucestershire. The housing association is currently building 100 homes in Winchcombe and is preparing to start work on two other sites in Gloucester that will deliver nearly 300 additional homes, including one just to the south of the Matson site. Bromford is part of Bromford Flagship, one of the biggest housing associations in the country with 82,000 homes across the West of England, West Midlands and East Anglia. With its headquarters in Tewkesbury, it is the largest housing association in Gloucestershire with more than 12,000 homes across the county.

Baghdad Sustainable Forests is the next step in Baghdad’s reconstruction, providing a powerful catalyst for the environmental repair and regeneration of the city. Gensler has partnered with Emkanat to unveil a landmark masterplan to transform Baghdad into a global model for urban resilience in an ambitious new development. Baghdad Sustainable Forests, extending over 10 million square meters, envisions the transformation of neglected land into a thriving district, breathing new life into the city through the creation of mixed-use villages and urban clusters, all set within an extensive forest. Ian Mulcahey, Global Director of Cities, Principal at Gensler, said: “The creation of a new urban forest at the heart of Baghdad will be transformative, making a major contribution to the environmental repair and long-term enhancement of the city. The site, on the banks of the River Tigris, will become an extraordinary new destination for recreation and cultural celebration of Iraq’s capital.” The city of Baghdad has played a central role in human history and throughout the centuries has endured damage to its social and physical fabric including land degradation and desertification. Baghdad Sustainable Forests aims to restore the land at the former Al-Rasheed military campsite, previously filled with more than 45 million tons of waste, into a catalyst for regeneration in the city. Gensler’s masterplan focuses on three key principles including creating a new destination for Baghdad to elevate the city’s identity, embracing innovation to meet future challenges, and healing the city’s ecosystem with restorative environments. Developed under the patronage of the Government of Iraq and the Prime Minister’s Office and implemented in close collaboration with Baghdad Municipality and the National Investment Commission, the development support’s Iraq’s 2023–2030 National Environmental Strategy as the country aims to address contemporary ecological challenges. Fadi Shoughri, CEO at Emkanat, said: “At Emkanat, we believe that the Baghdad Sustainable Forests is more than just a project or an urban masterplan; it is the first and largest of its kind in Iraq and the wider region. As one of our flagship initiatives, it reflects our broader vision as a company to lead transformative urban development across Iraq — creating destinations that balance sustainability, innovation, and quality of life. This landmark initiative carries a message of hope for all Iraqis, marking a new chapter in the capital’s history by transforming neglected, waste-burdened land into a thriving oasis and a genuine opportunity for growth and innovation. Our vision is for Baghdad — the beating heart of Iraq — to stand as a model for the region and a gateway that reflects a nation regaining its vitality and rising confidently toward the future. And while this project opens new horizons — from job creation and cleaner air to better quality of life — it also embodies the promise that Emkanat carries: to leave behind not just buildings but living legacies that inspire future generations.” With substantial investment underpinning the project, Baghdad Sustainable Forests will unlock new opportunities for economic growth and job creation, through the delivery of 1.5 million square meters of retail, commercial, and amenity infrastructure. It features distinct gateways and lifestyle villages to support a growing urban population including: Glenn Wilson, Design Manager, Senior Associate at Gensler, said: “This is an exciting next step in the reconstruction of Baghdad and will provide a powerful catalyst for the regeneration of the wider city. The project will become a beacon for the rebirth of one of the most ancient cities in the world.” Ecological design is the foundation of the masterplan with forests, parks, and green corridors creating the structural backbone of the district. More than 1 million trees aim to capture 22,000 metric tons of CO₂ annually, cooling the microclimate, improving air quality, and offering immersive experiences ranging from quiet trails to vibrant civic plazas. Complementing this, an extensive micro-mobility network prioritising walking, cycling, and e-scooters enables seamless, low-impact movement across the site whilst preserving the integrity of its ecological fabric. A series of thematic forests including Arts & Culture, Health & Wellness, Kids & Entertainment, Sports & Fitness, and a dedicated Ladies Forest provide spaces for creativity, wellbeing, and community life, while a network of gardens, water features, and gathering places support biodiversity and seasonal change.

Yorkshire-based GMI Construction Group has been appointed to the North Eastern Universities Purchasing Consortium (NEUPC) Refurbishment Framework, marking a significant step forward in its public sector growth strategy. The company has secured a place in the £4m-£10m project value band for the Yorkshire and Humber region, with projects to be delivered from its Leeds office. The four-year framework supports refurbishment schemes across NEUPC’s network of members, associates, and affiliates, including universities, further education colleges, schools, NHS Trusts, and other public sector organisations. NEUPC is one of six regional purchasing consortia that form the UK Universities Procurement Consortia (UKUPC), which collectively manage collaborative procurement agreements across the UK’s higher education sector. It also marks an early success for Ken Rawe who recently joined GMI as Head of Frameworks. The newly created role is central to the company’s strategy to expand its footprint across public sector frameworks and strengthen long-term relationships with institutional clients. He brings more than 20 years of experience in framework management, procurement, and project delivery, having previously held senior roles at Kier Group, mac-group, and Shaylor Group. Ken Rawe said: “We are proud to have been selected by NEUPC to deliver high-quality refurbishment projects that support the continued development of education, healthcare, and public service environments. “NEUPC is a recognised leader in collaborative, client-focused procurement, and its values are closely aligned with our own. This appointment demonstrates our commitment to supporting the public sector and creating lasting value for the communities we serve.” GMI’s inclusion on the NEUPC framework builds on a strong track record within the public sector. The company already holds positions on several major procurement frameworks, including Pagabo, Procure Partnerships, North East Purchasing Organisation (NEPO), and the University of Manchester Construction Works framework. Andy Hughes, Deputy Head of Operational Procurement and Category Manager, said: “We are pleased to award a long term framework that is open to all members of the NEUPC, covering a diverse range of requirements in refurbishment works that we hope will provide savings as well as quality work for our members.” Gareth Jones, GMI’s Group Managing Director, added: “Ken’s experience in navigating national and regional frameworks is already helping strengthen our presence in this vital sector. “Being added to the NEUPC framework is a valuable addition to our growing public sector portfolio and a strong endorsement of GMI’s capabilities and collaborative approach.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
Dumfries & Galloway Council has appointed McLaughlin & Harvey to deliver a £38m flood protection scheme at Whitesands, setting in motion long-awaited works to safeguard the riverside quarter from the River Nith. The project follows years of debate over cost and design and responds to a persistent local problem: the Whitesands area has seen regular inundation—205 incidents recorded over the past two centuries—with climate change expected to intensify both frequency and severity. McLaughlin & Harvey has been engaged on an early contractor involvement basis to refine buildability, phasing and community impacts ahead of the main construction programme, which is expected to start next summer. The contractor will work alongside Turner & Townsend and Jacobs, who are providing consultancy support across cost, programme and technical design. The solution combines permanent and demountable elements to balance protection with riverside amenity. New barriers will be installed along a raised walkway on the Nith, using a mix of reinforced walls, high-clarity glass panels and flood gates at key access points. The glass sections are intended to retain river views and daylight while delivering the required defence standard, addressing long-standing concerns that traditional opaque walls would sever the town’s relationship with its waterfront. Flood gates will enable access for pedestrians, vehicles and events in normal conditions, closing rapidly when river levels rise. Invasive ground investigation works were completed in summer 2024, informing the foundation strategy and helping to de-risk construction in a complex urban setting. With utilities and traffic routes threaded tightly through the area, the early contractor involvement phase is expected to focus on sequencing, temporary works and stakeholder engagement to minimise disruption to local businesses, residents and visitors. Beyond protecting property and infrastructure, the scheme is designed to unlock confidence for future investment in the town centre. Reduced flood risk can lower insurance premiums, stabilise trading conditions and encourage upgrade decisions that have previously been deferred. The raised walkway and public-realm elements also create an opportunity to improve accessibility and wayfinding along the river corridor, linking the waterfront more clearly with the town’s retail and heritage assets. Once on site, the programme will likely be paced around river conditions and seasonal constraints, with key activities—including foundation pours, barrier installation and gate commissioning—co-ordinated to avoid peak flood windows where feasible. Commissioning will include integrated testing of gates, drainage interfaces and emergency procedures. For Dumfries, the project represents a pragmatic compromise forged through extensive consultation: robust, adaptable defences that keep the river in view rather than out of mind. As the main works mobilise next year, the focus will be on delivering reliable protection with the least possible disruption—an investment in resilience that aims to pay back through safer streets, steadier trade and renewed confidence on the banks of the Nith.

Plymouth City Council and Urban Fox, a partnership between Balfour Beatty Investments and Urban Electric Networks, have announced the official launch of their partnership to deploy low impact, on street electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in Plymouth. This comes after a highly successful two and a half year pilot, which saw Urban Fox install 26 dual socket UEone chargepoints – serving 53 charging bays across 10 hubs – and support the annual charging needs of up to 650 EV drivers. The next phase of the partnership will see the reinstatement of 24 dual socket UEone chargepoints, creating 48 charging bays, underlining the Council’s commitment to expanding near home charging for residents, especially those without off street parking options. Prior to deployment, a comprehensive survey revealed: Urban Fox’s UEone, a retractable, kerbside fast chargepoint, was chosen to address these priorities, offering a discreet design which is flush to the ground when not in use. Importantly, insights from the trial led to further design enhancements, including: The original pilot demonstrated the feasibility and accessibility of the UEone chargepoints and was met with a positive reception. The latest rollout will expand Plymouth’s EV infrastructure, offering safe, reliable, and scalable charging solutions. Oli Freeling-Wilkinson, CEO of Urban Fox, said: “We are proud to build on the success of our pilot and expand this vital infrastructure in Plymouth. The UEone perfectly combines design, functionality, reliability and accessibility. We’re delighted to partner with the council in accelerating the city’s transition toward cleaner transport.” Councillor John Stephens, Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning and Transport, added: “Ensuring equitable access to EV charging has ever been more important. Our joint pilot with Urban Fox clearly demonstrated not only the demand but also the effectiveness of on street charging in making meaningful progress toward our sustainability targets.” This EV charging initiative is a key component of Plymouth City Council’s strategy to reduce emissions and facilitate a cleaner, sustainable urban future.

Focus on Ground-breaking Safety Features of New Develon Series 9 DEVELON, formerly Doosan Construction Equipment, has announced that it has conducted a successful field demonstration of the company‘s new DX230LC-9 23 tonne crawler excavator and its smart safety technologies, including the ground-breaking E-STOP system, at a test site in Compiègne in France. The demonstration was organized by OPPBTP (the French professional organization for improving health and safety in Building and Public Works) and took place at the construction site of the Seine–Nord Europe Canal project, operated by Bouygues, a leading global construction company. The OPPBTP is made up of health and safety experts from the industry, who provide daily support to professionals and stakeholders in the construction industry. Its aim is to develop practices to prevent workplace accidents and occupational illnesses to improve the health and safety of workers in the construction industry. Stephane Dieu, Product Manager for Develon Excavators in Europe, said: “It was a great pleasure to accept OPPBTP’s invitation, giving us the opportunity to demonstrate our innovative technology for reducing accident risks on earthmoving sites. Many thanks to Sébastien MARIE from OPPBTP and also to Société du Canal Seine-Nord Europe (SCSNE) for allowing this innovation to be tested on the Canal Seine Nord construction site and Bouygues Travaux Publics for conducting the tests and for their positive feedback on the E-Stop system.” As well as Bouygues, the demonstration event was also attended by representatives from four other major international construction firms – including Eiffage – as well as government representatives, the Chairman of the Board of the Seine Nord Europe Canal Company and the Safety Director of FNTP (Fédération Nationale des Travaux Publics), the French national federation representing the public works and construction industry. E-Stop, the First Safety System of its Kind as Standard on an Excavator Develon’s equipment was deployed to showcase both its core performance and advanced smart safety functions, including E-Stop, the first system from a crawler excavator manufacturer that stops the movement of the machine when a person is detected within 4 m of the excavator. Stephane Dieu continued: “The new Develon DX230LC-9 excavator used in the demonstration was equipped with a range of smart safety technologies such as collision risk warnings and around-view monitoring. Among them, the E-STOP system—similar to automotive emergency braking systems—garnered particular attention from operators and demonstration attendees. Develon plans to further develop the E-Stop system and begin launch in the European market with it installed from January of next year.” The OPPBTP (Organisme Professionnel de Prévention du Bâtiment et des Travaux Publics) was established in 1947 to address high accident rates in the construction sector. Since 2022, it has been operating the joint industry project “Stop Collision” aimed at preventing accidents between equipment and pedestrians. The recent field demonstration and showcase with Develon was conducted as part of this project. Star of the Bauma 2025 Exhibition Presented for the first time at Bauma 2025, Develon’s new Next Generation Series 9 Smart Crawler Excavator range represents the latest stage in a proud legacy at Develon that can be traced back through five generations of excavators that began with the Solar range in the 1980s. With the Series 9 range, Develon is aiming to set a new standard for future products and technologies in construction equipment. Like all Series 9 models, the DX230LC-9 achieves this goal by combining 10 (ten) ground-breaking technologies and will redefine and set new industry levels of Productivity, Safety, Operator Convenience and Sustainability. The Series 9 range not only endorses the company’s forward-thinking vision but also underscores Develon’s unwavering dedication to innovation and excellence in the construction equipment sector. Safety & Smart Features on Series 9 Machines The Smart All-Around Viewing Monitor (SAVM) is an AI-based Object Detection technology to effectively identify both moving and stationary individuals in close proximity to the machine. Upon detection, the system promptly alerts operators through a combination of visual signals and audible alarms on the monitor, ensuring a heightened awareness of the surrounding environment. The innovative E-Stop and Virtual Wall functions prevent accidents the operators are not aware of. To help ensure safety, the area surrounding the machine is clearly defined into specific zones: a yellow warning zone (Zone 2) and a red danger zone (Zone 1). The SAVM and E-Stop system utilize 6 cameras and 3 radars and work in three stages with a detection range of 6 m and 330°. The system is active only for personnel, and is able to make out the difference between people and objects: The E-Stop is an essential safety feature designed to control or halt a machine’s movement, such as driving or swinging, in cautionary or dangerous areas, thereby ensuring operator safety. The Virtual Wall feature significantly enhances operation by allowing users to confine the machine’s movement within predefined areas where the risk of collision may be heightened.
