wates developments
Wates Developments are experts in land and achieving planning consents on residential development projects. In addition the business invests in development activity through joint ventures with leading housebuilders. Part of the Wates Group, our dedicated, experienced team controls over 2780 acres of land in Southern England. A wholly privately owned company, Wates Developments invests in green and brownfield land consented or unconsented, and offers landowners a wide range of sale arrangements tailored to their needs. We offer financial strength, corporate stability and active partnership in an uncertain market which has been impacted by the current recession and changes within the housebuilder sector.
Our planning acumen is formidable, combining development vision and value optimisation with the practical skills and knowledge to deliver projects through to gaining consents, even on the most difficult and contentious sites. Organised, professional and influential, Wates Developments are the partners of choice for any landowner.
In our joint ventures with housebuilders, Wates brings forward high quality consented sites, where we invest our own capital and share development risk jointly with our partners. Experienced in this role, Wates have a strong pedigree and long term commitment to the housing sector. We offer the security of the financial strength of the Wates Group and maintain high integrity as a core value.
Wates Developments’ open and consultative approach to the communities we operate within is consistent with the positive corporate responsibility credentials of the Wates Group. We are committed to producing the best solutions to development opportunities, ensuring they make a strong contribution to the local infrastructure while minimising environmental impact.
Wates Developments’ vision is to create new homes and communities where we can deliver a positive and sustainable way of life for all.
