We’re delighted to report that we’ve been shortlisted for two coveted Pineapples awards – in recognition of our holistic approach to regeneration and placemaking.

The Pineapples awards celebrate the very best in placemaking, recognising excellence with an exciting programme and a commitment to recognising projects that make a positive social, environmental and economic impact.

The awards we’ve been nominated for are…

Future Place Award – ECF | St Helens Council – In March 2020, St Helens Council and ECF – our national JV with Legal & General and Homes England – agreed a 20-year partnership to regenerate St Helens town centre. The masterplan features a new town centre divided into four character zones and includes the development of a new bus station, public and pedestrian-friendly spaces and the reconfiguration of redundant highways and the demolition of shopping centres

Place in Progress Award – Stockport Exchange – in partnership with Stockport Council – The Grand Central Leisure complex and surface car parking have been reimagined as a welcoming entrance from Stockport train station into the town centre. Stockport Exchange is bringing forward public space and greenery, new highways and pedestrian routes, multiple stunning office buildings, a Holiday Inn Express and multi-story car park. With the latest phase introducing a 64,000 sq ft Grade A workspace and a further multi-storey car park.
