Our team is at the heart of the development. We are looking to recruit an experienced Placemaking and Events Manager with experience in producing footfall driving events in a large scheme, with a passion for place, to ultimately join us in our mission to create communities with soul.

Using our hospitality and BTR background, we are building a new breed of estate management, a service that is built from the ground up to focus on visitor experience, community, and placemaking. Our reputation for operating large scale mixed-use estates, with a focus on placemaking, has earned us the 2022 Property Week Placemaking award. We believe focusing on the end user drives real value for our clients. Having successfully mobilised the BTR component, we are now turning to Station Hill, one of our most exciting and largest schemes.

Comprising of 600 BTR apartments, 275,000 sqft of Grade A multi-let offices (phase 1) with future expansion of a further 325,000 sqft (phase 2), as well as over 2 acres of high-quality public realm – Station Hill is transformational. (https://www.stationhill.co.uk/).

3. Creating an ‘always on’ Station Hill marketing strategy to drive public footfall.
