CASE STUDIES

SOME EXAMPLES OF OUR WORK

• Blackstone
  We categorised a UK portfolio against each locations’ mixed use development and operational potential.
• Westfield
  Westfield’s initial five centre UK retail development programme:
  “Across our portfolio, Urban Futures have demonstrated they understand consumer behaviour and trading patterns and can successfully apply it to scheme design and management delivery” … Denis Carruthers, when Director of Shopping Centres.
• Berkeley Group
  We provided advice on aspects of ‘podium’ style developments, following advice on several major schemes from 1998.
  A company FD – “We may be giving you a hard time now but we tend to forget you added an additional £25M on this project.”
• London & Continental
  Specifying modifications to leverage station development.
  "Urban Futures ... helped us with some early assessments of likely customer behaviour ...; guiding our strategic decision-making." Stephen Jordan, when Managing Director,
• The Leisure Fund II
  Instructed jointly by a fund and developer to define, conclude and then manage out a risk transfer from Network Rail in the order of £30,000 a day (so far so good!).
