A City building, kept
At Holm Lombard Fields we are reusing 95% of the original structure. That keeps embodied carbon and construction waste to a minimum, and keeps a piece of the City's history standing.
Responsible Investment
Deeds matter more than words.
Cities carry two pressures: a changing climate, and a thinning of connection between people. Buildings can relieve both. Our integrated model lets us take the long-term decisions that do, and those decisions protect returns.
Approach
Stewardship that shows up in the numbers.
Buildings and climate
Reuse before we rebuild. Every development targets EPC A or B and BREEAM Excellent or Very Good, ahead of the proposed 2031 requirement under MEES, the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards, for larger non-domestic buildings.
Why it protects value: lower energy use supports net income and keeps assets lettable and financeable as standards rise.
Community and wellbeing
Curated programming in every building: wellness classes, member events, and shared space designed for company and for solitude.
Why it protects value: satisfaction shows up in occupancy, 98%+ at Holm Wimbledon Park since stabilisation.
Social value
Buildings in transition serve their neighbourhoods: rent-free space for charity partners before refurbishment, surplus materials donated rather than sent to landfill, local supply chains.
Why it protects value: trust with communities and local authorities is part of how we deliver.

Second lives.
Useful while it waited
Before refurbishment, Bedford Row gave rent-free space to charity partners, more than £200,000 of social value. Today it is Holm Bloomsbury, with 70% lower carbon emissions.
A garden that gathers people
"The gardening club has been a wonderful addition, fostering a sense of community."
