An Evening with Zinzan Brooke

K2 hosted a table at the Alexander Jansons Foundation charity event at Home House, Portman Square, London

The dinner was followed by a Q&A session with Zinzan Brooke, New Zealand’s International Rugby Union Legend. A total amount of £5626 was raised.

The Foundation has pledged money to fund research into the causes, prevention and cures for Myocarditis and ultimately to produce a research paper to be published in medical journals. The knowledge gained from the research will add to the body of existing knowledge and increase the understanding of the disease and how it can be prevented and cured, therefore saving lives in the future.

A great event supporting a very worthy cause.

New Development at 350 Basingstoke Road, Reading

K2 Consultancy  are pleased to deliver the multi-million redevelopment at 350 Basingstoke Road, Reading – a prime food and leisure development due to open early 2016.

Janson’s Property purchased the freehold interest of this site and undertook the development. The scheme is funded by Jansons in partnership with William Pears Group.

We acted on behalf of Janson Property provided Development Management, Project Management, Cost Consultancy, Employers Agent and CDM Coordinator

Our involvement commenced just as the site had been acquired after which we engaged with agents and potential occupiers before concluding an optimum site arrangement for Aldi, a discount supermarket chain, Green King pub/family restaurant and Pure Gym in two purpose built buildings.

K2 led the process and managed the development and completion of the commercial elements including obtaining planning permission, design, procurement and construction process, all consultant and contractors, reporting to Jansons Development Director. Our input extended to the legal agreements, Heads of Terms and Agreement for Lease as well as arrangements for the investment sale including the Development Agreement.

We ensured successful project delivery and maximised return. By adopting a cost-focused design process and implementing a robust commercial approach, the buildings were successfully fully let prior to demolition commencing of the previous office buildings.

Phillip Jemmison, Assistant Director of K2 commented: “We are thrilled to see the completion of this development, reinforcing our capability. The project is a result of our drive to properly understand our client's needs and implement robust project cost management practices to ensure that the client’s delivery requirements were met.”

A toast to the successful development at 350 Basingstoke Road

Christmas cheer came to Basingstoke Road, as a German style market marked the completion of a retail development. On Wednesday 3 December, property investors and developers from Jansons held the Christkindlesmarkt to celebrate the end of the project at 350 Basingstoke Road in Reading.




The location is now home to a 'prime food and leisure development' featuring an Aldi store, Pure Gym and a Hungry Horse pub.

K2 acted on behalf of Janson Property provided Development Management, Project Management, Cost Consultancy, Employers Agent and CDM Coordinator.

In 2014, Jansons Property was granted planning consent for the 39,817 sq ft retail and leisure redevelopment, on the site of an empty office building next to Morrisons.
