Unique Property Group (UPG) has reached a key construction milestone at St. James’s Residences, with the completion of the project’s primary brickwork on this logistically demanding eight-storey residential new build. The scheme remains on programme and is currently targeted for completion in Q4 2025.

The brick selection and detailing have attracted positive feedback from a range of stakeholders, including the local authority and building control, reflecting the quality of the façade execution and the project team’s attention to design intent.

The project was originally developed with an alternative façade specification. Following a design review, UPG’s in-house team successfully amended the brick and finishing strategy to improve overall efficiency — optimising value, reducing material waste, and supporting programme certainty — while enhancing the final appearance of the building.

UPG will continue to progress internal works and external completion activities over the coming months as the development moves towards practical completion.
