Throwback Thursday This week, Dave reflects on o Throwback Thursday 

This week, Dave reflects on our St Marychurch Local Centre project in Torquay, a scheme that brought significant challenges, important learning experiences, and a design outcome that made a lasting contribution to the local area.

The project included Dave’s first public consultation and was also the first scheme he designed that went on to be built, marking an important step in his career at Urban Edge.

Read Dave’s full reflection on our website and let us know your thoughts.

In the second part of our PD-BR series, we sit dow In the second part of our PD-BR series, we sit down with Director and Founder, Tom McNamara, to explore why Principal Designer - Building Regulations (PD-BR) is fast becoming a cornerstone of responsible architecture.

From early-stage compliance to preserving design integrity, Tom unpacks how PD-BR protects clients’ long-term interests. He challenges the misconception that compliance is a constraint, showing instead how it enables creativity and clarity when integrated early.

With two distinct Principal Designer roles and serious legal duties at play, it’s vital to understand the nuances before making key decisions. At Urban Edge, we’re here to guide you - reach out to our team to ensure your project is compliant and confidently managed from day one.

Interchange stands as a prime example of how strategic enhancements can unlock greater asset value. The introduction of new pod units not only boosts rental income but also encourages shoppers to linger longer.
We’re seeing an increase in clients exploring innovative ways to diversify revenue streams, and Urban Edge is ready to deliver. With a proven track record in retail design, we’re perfectly placed to help you maximise your asset’s potential.

We’re making major strides on our latest industr We’re making major strides on our latest industrial and logistics project in #Theale.
The scheme involves the creation of a 100,000 sq.ft five-zone multi-temperature warehouse, designed to meet modern logistics demands. As part of the transformation, the existing office accommodation and its associated structural frame have been demolished. The existing warehouse has been repurposed into an ambient storage warehouse. Two new freezer cells expanding the facility are under construction.
We’re proud to be targeting BREEAM Excellent certification as part of our commitment to sustainable development.
Swipe through the images to see how far we’ve come between April and August!
Big thanks to TanRo as main contractor.
