Verona Apartments, Slough SL1

UPG acquired the land and arranged construction finance in partnership with a Hong Kong professional investor and delivered the project in joint venture with another developer and specialist contractors.

Originally built as the Yellow Pages offices, the red brick building is a perfect example of repurposing existing commercial properties into new homes via the Permitted Development Rights planning scheme. Construction waste and disruption was kept to a minimum as the majority of the existing structure was retained and additional floors added on to optimise its massing, maximising the number of new homes delivered.
