Law firm’s Commercial Property team builds on its success

Flint Bishop’s commercial property team is continuing to build on its success, providing legal advice to major national and regional development schemes

 

High profile town centre redevelopments, industrial schemes and business parks all feature prominently in the law firm’s commercial property portfolio, with its highly experienced team advising on a wide range of property related issues.

 

Flint Bishop – recently named by The Lawyer as the UK’s fastest growing legal practice– has also changed its name and has a vibrant new corporate identity as part of a major re-brand

 

Commercial property partner John Taylor and his team are currently acting for London-based Discovery Properties in relation to a multi-million pound   project to redevelop part of Darlington Town Centre.

 

Discovery Properties is undertaking this development in conjunction with Peveril Securities Ltd in Darlington’s prime retail district on behalf of Darlington Borough Council in a project which will include the creation of a four-storey retail and leisure complex.

In addition, Flint Bishop’s  Derby and Nottingham offices have been retained to act for the joint developers of Wolverhampton Business Park – a 30 acre prime new employment site for the West Midlands which has been designed to meet the needs of both the region’s growing businesses and inward investors. This development is being led by partners Barry Sankey in Nottingham and Ian Beardmore in Derby.

 

The £40 million scheme near Junction 2 of the M54 is being developed by Broadlands (Wolverhampton) Limited, a joint venture partnership between B& R Properties and Peveril Securities.

 

Regionally, Flint Bishop is involved in several other multi-million deals and has acted for key property clients that include Bowmer and Kirkland Ltd and Clowes Developments (UK) Ltd

 

Commercial property partner Heather Dixon continues to act for Conder Developments Limited/Dove Valley Park Ltd – part of the Clowes Group –

in the development of Dove Valley Park – 200 acres of business space situated on the A50/M1/M6 Stoke/Derby link road at Foston.

 

Dove Valley Park features individual plots designed and constructed to meet occupiers’ needs, with units ranging from 30,000 sq to more than 300,000 sq ft.

 

 

As part of her involvement in this scheme, Heather acted for Conder on the development of a 20 acre site for Japanese automotive parts supplier Futaba at Dove Valley Park

Constructed in two phases totalling approximately 325,000 sq ft, the first phase of the £30 million development for Futaba is now completed.

 

 

Senior partner and commercial property lawyer Ian Beardmore said the firm’s recent high profile instructions reflected Flint Bishop’s position as a leading player in the Midlands’ commercial property scene.

 

He added: “We have acted, and are continuing to act, on a number of prominent projects both nationally and regionally. Our team has the experience and legal expertise to advise on substantial and complex Development Projects.”
