In this video we take you behind the scenes of Lucent House, our 9 unit mixed use property development in Hackney, East London. What started as a site with a Ladbrokes betting shop, a flat above and an auto repairs garage was transformed into a contemporary six storey building with luxury apartments, commercial space and a penthouse with skyline views across London. We share the full journey from acquisition and planning through to construction, finance, Covid delays, party wall challenges and the final sales process. This project tested every aspect of property development including planning strategy, tight site logistics, rising build costs and navigating construction during lockdown. Lucent House achieved a GDV of £8.5 million and remains one of our most challenging and rewarding developments to date. 0:00 Intro 1:29 New Video Welcome Intro 2:37 New Opportunity 4:35 Pre-Application 5:40 Existing Tenants Lease Surrender 6:26 Planning Granted 9:29 Party Wall Agreements 10:00 Demolition Works 10:58 Construction Commencing 12:35 Completion of Project 15:07 Internal Finishes 16:44 Commercial Unit
