Hargreaves Development is the regeneration and property development division of Hargreaves Services plc.

A move away from the Group's historical coal mining legacy has led to the development of our rapidly expanding property arm and the delivery of a range of new mixed-use, commercial & residential schemes.

Our extensive pipeline and strong heritage place us at the forefront of land and property development across much of the UK.

We deliver high-quality projects which support sustainable growth for future generations, delivering places where people want to live and work.
Our business benefits from a significant development pipeline, which will deliver near-term, medium, and long-term opportunities.

We work closely with those who share our same vision and enhance our business through positive partnerships and an active acquisition strategy that generates significant investment in regional economies.

Our core purpose is to connect people and places, with an emphasis on creating vibrant, sustainable land and property solutions.

With regional teams primarily focusing on projects across the Midlands, North of England, and Scotland, our purpose drives our commitment to creating positive places.

“We have a tremendously talented team working across the UK and some incredible development opportunities in the pipeline. I am very excited at the prospect of what we can achieve in the coming years.”

What we do

As master developer, we bring a wealth of expertise in managing large-scale, multi-phase projects, delivering robust infrastructure solutions and providing serviced plots ready for residential and commercial development.

Our key focus is formulating a strategic vision and investing in placemaking to create people-centred environments, as well as the long-term sustainability of the new communities we help to create.

A large proportion of our development pipeline involves brownfield sites; we relish a challenge and don’t shy away from complex opportunities. We understand that successful development requires a long-term partnership between all stakeholders and as lead-developer we manage this process seamlessly.

We undertake direct development at sites across the UK, to deliver best-in-class commercial premises for expanding businesses. Working with our professional network, we ensure our tailored development solutions meet the needs of forward-thinking organisations, whether it’s on a freehold or leasehold basis.

We offer comprehensive commercial design and build packages to provide occupiers with development, project and asset management expertise to fulfil bespoke requirements.

We are always keen to hear from landowners, agents, occupiers and public sector bodies to discuss how we can bring our extensive experience and expertise to the table, providing mutual benefit for all parties.

Our portfolio of renewable energy projects is underpinned by the expertise of our talented team and our extensive land holdings, which come together seamlessly to deliver a greener future.

Working with an established network of trusted partners, our Renewables team is successfully delivering innovative energy projects on brownfield and greenfield sites throughout the UK.

Taking a proactive approach, our team is proficient in securing all the necessary planning consents, grid connections and legal agreements to help realise a site’s full potential.

Renewable energy assets can generate significant rental income streams or be converted into capital sums through investment sales. We have concluded a significant number of long-term agreements with developers and operators along with sales to investors who acquire renewable energy assets which deliver long-term returns.

The considerable expertise that our team has gained over recent years enables us to accurately identify land and premises that present exciting opportunities for the development of renewable energy schemes and generate significant income.
