RPA were involved from the regional inception of this scheme, working with both Newydd HA and Loft Co. inorder to develop a viable scheme achieving both clients’ ambitions was the key to delivering this scheme.
One of the main obstacles to overcome was Loft Co’s ability to deliver a £5m apartment block Loft Co. To this end both parties agreed that a ‘construction’ partner was required. RPA then undertook a mini tender to appoint a local contractor to work up the residential element in a negotiated manner.
