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.

REDEVELOPMENT UNDERWAY AT 350 BASINGSTOKE ROAD READING

In Reading the old and tired 1980’s buildings at this site are currently being demolished, or ripped apart by J Mould’s (of Reading) largest pieces of plant. A soft strip commenced prior to Christmas 2014, and the main demolition commenced on the 5th of January 2015. The demolition and site clearance is due for completion early February 2015.  Over 90% of the materials being removed from the site will be recycled. In addition, tree protection has been installed to safeguard some of the more mature trees on site.

In place of these buildings, the developer, Jansons Property, are constructing two new buildings containing an Aldi supermarket, Greene King pub/restaurant and new Pure Gym.  Planning consent was received last July. An artist’s impression of the new development is shown. This will transform this site into a great addition for this neighbourhood of Reading, creating over 40 new jobs.

K2 Consultancy are providing their Project Management and Cost Consultancy expertise to Janson’s on this development.
