Over the past 20 years, we have successfully breathed new life into over 40 restoration, regeneration and brownfield projects. Our team is committed to creating, delivering and managing exceptional places that improve and regenerate the areas where they exist.
We have developed or currently hold almost 2 million sq. ft of commercial floorspace and have created homes for over 3,600 people across the UK.
Our speciality is developing commercial and residential solutions that stand the test of time. We do this by working in partnership with the communities local to our developments and valuing the people who work on our projects.
While property development remains our true passion, the Group’s thriving and forward-thinking investment and estate management divisions collaborate with the business’s fundamental activities in property led markets. As a result, we are fortunate to utilise Group synergies, providing solid support infrastructure for core activities and potential joint ventures.
We’re proud of our Northern roots. Established and headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne, companies operating within the Adderstone Group employ over 300 people.
