This episode explores the intricate mechanics and strategic rewards of large-scale developments delivered through complex, multi-partner frameworks. Join Joanna Deffley and James Scott, recorded at UKREiiF, as we unpack the blueprint for managing significant expansions that define regional growth. We’ll delve into the "multi-partner offering," examining the critical balance between contractual control regulations and the collaborative synergy required to deliver multi-tenure homes at scale.
