Mix and match

Article Abstract:

Crosby Homes is promoting its Symphony Court residential development in Birmingham as benefiting from the close proximity to Argent's Brindleyplace mixed office, retail and leisure scheme. More developers are seeing the benefits of mixed use developments, particularly as the residential side helps to make scheme commercially viable and gives a balanced development. Mixed use was used in the master plan for Milton Keynes, with the aim of avoiding out-commuting or in-commuting.

From workspace to living place

Article Abstract:

Many different types of buildings are now being considered for possible conversion to residential use. These include warehouses, hospitals and offices. The fall in commercial property values has particularly prompted interest in the refurbishment of industrial buildings and offices as residential space. However, some observers now fear that this trend could go too far, believing that refurbishment can only be successful if it remains a niche market.

All eyes on site: Pilkington Optronics has spent a year planning its move from Hayes to Staines in Surrey

Article Abstract:

Pilkington Optronics is relocating to Staines in Surrey from Hayes, west London. The company was seeking a site near Heathrow and this resulted in leasing AXA Equity & Law's Heritage Court in Staines. This followed the merger of Pilkington Thorn Optronics with Thorn EMI Electronic's Defence Group in April 1995. A new site newsletter gave employees information about the move and extracts are given.
