Like the mythological Phoenix rising from the ashes of its predecessor, we take defunct commercial buildings and transform them into modern mixed use or residential living spaces.
To help address the massive housing shortages in the UK, especially amongst young, old and vulnerable groups. To provide housing for these groups in an environmentally friendly way.
Through years of experience and acquired knowledge, and by seeing what others can't, to maximise the benefits for property sellers, affordable home seekers and investors alike.
With over 20 years experience, starting initially with property investment, it didn't take long for us to transition to a build-to-let company and then ultimately to a commercial-to-residential development company where we found our 'sweet' spot. We have arrived at a place where we can easily create sustainable living spaces from defunct commercial buildings and thereby provide much needed modern, energy-efficient affordable housing — without using any more of our country's green spaces!
Not everyone can be a property developer.
With interest rates so low, property development seems to be popular right now but not every property developer has the skill set to achieve a good return on their investments. Our skill set is pretty unique as our key team come from within the banking industry so due diligence, cashflow and making sure the number stack up are at the very heart of our approach.
Our team of architects and designers have created award-winning designs and our mission is to blend these designs with modern building techniques and the latest technology to create homes fit for a carbon neutral world.
Urban Phoenix have pulled together the best team of skills sets. All have a 'can do' attitude and desire to produce the best quality results. Every transformation project has its issues and problem solving is fundamental to getting the job done right and on budget.
