Alder King has been pivotal over the past 20 years in the conception, planning and delivery of Temple Quay in Bristol, one of the UK’s most significant regional prime brownfield mixed use urban regeneration schemes.

1995: Secured the development opportunity and planning permission for 100,000 sq m of mixed use development.

1997 onwards: Phase 1 (Core site) Delivered nine schemes of development totaling over 70,000 sq m.

2003: Completed the assembly of Phase 2 (North shore) and in 2004 obtained planning permission for in excess of 100,000 sq m of additional mixed use development. Completed four major transaction/schemes of development before Castlemore entered administration in 2008.

In the period of Castlemore’s ownership Alder King’s team were the sole retained property advisers in relation to site assembly, viability, development consultancy, marketing, occupational agency, estate and property management, forward funding and investment sale, completing in excess of £400 million of projects.
