Planning Expertise & Strong Team Lands Improvement team are experts in unlocking development through the planning system. We have become known in the industry as experts in planning due to our ability to deal with complicated political and environmental issues through our engaged and community led approach. We have a team of planners, technicians, land managers and finance experts as well as an involved management team. Maximise Value Maximizing value is a key trait of Lands Improvement. We buy our land through both Promotion agreements and unconditional freehold purchases financed through cash reserves; this approach means we are more engaged to maximise value than many of our competitors who through Promotion/Development agreements are only focused on speed of consent. We share this maximised value with the vendors via the Promotion/Development Agreement or via Overage in the case of unconditional freehold acquisitions. We Deliver Infrastructure We regularly deliver early infrastructure to sites in order to sell de-risked land to developers. The de-risked nature of the land results in increased competition for the land because it is ready to be built on, which in turn, results in higher land values than would otherwise be achieved. Large Investment Capacity Lands Improvement is fortunate to be privately financed but also large enough in its own right to be self-financing. Our investment capacity allows us to both buy freehold sites, deliver infrastructure and take a long-term view to adding value through investment in projects, where perhaps our competitors may struggle. Long Term Land Owners Lands Improvement is a long-term landowner with a long term vision. Our model views strategies from 2 – 50 year time horizons and commits to strategies and financing for that period. Our shareholders (Telereal Trillium) have an equally long-term vision for the portfolio of assets previously described as comprising c.12,000 properties on a portfolio value of £11bn. Placemaking At Lands Improvement, we have always had a focus on our legacy. What imprint do we leave behind and how does that shape the way we live, work, and play. In our commitment to excellence, we constantly challenge ourselves and as such, we have been implementing the Lands Improvement Placemaking Framework. Central for us is the challenge of how to make all our sites ‘happy and healthy places’, which people are genuinely proud to call home and spend time in.
