This is our thematic investment strategy centred around utilising igloo’s development and placemaking expertise to deliver thriving communities that generate returns over the long term. This strategy is built on the igloo Regeneration Fund established in 2001 by Aviva and igloo Regeneration Ltd, and acquired by Thriving Investments, formerly PfP Capital, in 2018. The strategy is targeting:
- A mixed-tenure UK regeneration investment with a target size of £600m
- Delivery of an initial 1,400 homes plus commercial developments with a blend of homes for sale and for rent.
- Delivery through using igloo’s ESG Footprint approach that enables investors to capture uplifts from placemaking activity with measurable social benefits.
Flagship developments include:
- Ouseburn Valley in Newcastle, a residential-led development which, when completed, will offer 300-350 homes and 18,000-20,000 sq ft of commercial workspace in a riverside location close to the city centre.
- Stephenson Quarter in Newcastle, which will see the regeneration of 4.3 acres of brownfield land behind Central Station into a mixed-used residential scheme complete with office and leisure space and a public realm and creating an estimated 2,000 jobs for the people of Newcastle.
- Trent Basin in Nottingham, a riverside neighbourhood or low energy homes and apartments designed by award-winning architects, located on the banks of the River Trent
