Addington Capital is out to help investors and landowners “redress the balance in our tired retail spaces and town centres”.

To that end, the property investment and asset management specialist has recruited regeneration expert Nigel Turner as a partner to head its 15-strong Town Centre Regeneration team. 

A “senior addition” to its team, Turner was formerly a director and chief operating officer of McCarthy Stone, where he was responsible for all land and build activity UK-wide. 

Prior to that he spent nearly 20 years at Keir Group, where he was director of Developments & Property Services, London and UK-wide, responsible for all commercial and residential development strategy, investment decisions and delivery.
 
“Both roles gave Nigel considerable grasp of investment, land acquisition; development, housebuilding, regeneration and planning frameworks”, noted Addington.
 
He also has "considerable experience” in the creation of mixed-use communities, local authority partnerships, redevelopment, and numerous joint ventures.
 
Matthew Allen, principal of Addington Capital, said: “We now have a very experienced multi-sector team, led by Nigel, to work alongside our partners to unlock the complex but rewarding opportunities in town centre redevelopment. Nigel is experienced in setting up public and private sector partnerships and has the track record to help us increase our success in this area of the market where we foresee a long pipeline of business”. 
 
Turner added: "In this new role we want to work with investors, local authorities and planners to create genuine quality and sustainable town centres -- fit for the communities of the 21st century”.
