Deloitte Real Estate’s Northern team has announced a number of promotions across its planning, capital advisory, and valuation teams following a strong year in which the firm has helped deliver multi-million pound projects.
Deloitte’s Manchester planning team has had an exceptional year, and recently announced its delivery of 27 key developments in the city between June 2016 and July 2017 that will deliver a combined 8,388 units. This includes Trinity Island (approved in July 2017) and Owen Street (approved in June 2016) at 67-storeys and 64-storeys respectively.
In recognition of this success, the Manchester office has announced a number of promotions across its real estate teams.
