Leading North East estate agency Urban BASE is celebrating a decade of working with the UK's leading regeneration developer, igloo.
The Durham and Newcastle based agent has helped market and sell some of the most exciting place-making schemes in the region, particularly within Newcastle.
Jan Dale, director and founder of Urban BASE, explained: “Our incredible journey with the wonderful team at igloo started a decade ago in 2013, at a meeting with chief executive Peter Connolly and David Roberts. Their passion for urban regeneration was there to see from the outset.
“Since that time, we have continued to be their North East agent across some of the most exciting residential projects that have regenerated key parts of Newcastle.”
These include the Malings development in Ouseburn (76 homes) and Steenbergs in Ouseburn (28 homes).
With major award-winning regeneration projects across the country, igloo’s reputation as one of the UK’s leading sustainable developers continues to strengthen. The company continues to grow and recently made a number of senior appointments in the North East to help steer its continued growth.
The business has appointed Joe Broadley as North East development director to oversea existing projects such as Stephenson Quarter, and the Pioneer in Newcastle, while also looking for other opportunities. He will be working alongside Insiyah Khushnood, who has been appointed as senior development manager and will be leading many future phases at the Ouseburn.
Jan Dale added: “We’re delighted to continue to work with igloo on projects across the city from the iconic riverside scheme at Malmo Quay (58 homes) to Stephenson Quarter, as well as Helix in the west of Newcastle.
“igloo is the leading regeneration developer of sustainable, mixed-use neighbourhoods for communities. We have experienced this together across the North East, witnessing them provide the most amazing homes that have formed completely new, lively communities.
“It’s a genuine privilege for us to work with igloo on such highly considered developments. They’re a developer that invest in creating new communities, places that people love and thrive within. Their approach and commitment to sustainability is also good for the environment and the world we live in.”
Jan recently visited Leeds with the igloo team to see at first hand the award-winning Ironworks project where the developer has been praised for creating striking sustainable schemes alongside distinctive office space.
Urban BASE is also undertaking supporting work with Siglion at Vaux in Sunderland where the city is being transformed to provide new housing for the future of the council’s strong development plans.
Elsewhere, Urban BASE was recently appointed by Banks Group to help launch its new dedicated regional housebuilding company. Banks Homes is set to start work later this year on nine luxury homes in the centre of the prestigious Mount Oswald development after securing planning permission from Durham County Council.
This appointment for Urban BASE follows the agent’s success with establishing Chapter Homes for Durham County Council along with Centaurea Homes for South Tyneside Council. Urban BASE is also supporting award nominated Forric Homes building quality bespoke homes in beautiful village locations. Jan and her team continue to support award-winning County Durham housebuilder Homes by Carlton.
Urban BASE undertakes all aspects of residential sales, rentals, market appraisals (valuations), property management, marketing of land and new-housing developments.
