York Science Park’s newest tenant completes £7 million worth of projects

York Science Park’s Expresso Properties has completed over £7m worth of projects since moving into the Park’s incubation space, Springboard, last summer.

Expresso Properties is a division of Expresso Investments which was established by architect and designer Stephen Hampshire, chartered accountant Jonathan Emmott and chartered surveyor Nick Robinson.

The firm specialises in developing mixed use regeneration schemes, rebranding properties, refurbishment and green field sites.

Since its move to Springboard, the company has been working on the design, development and refurbishment of projects for a number of leading social housing providers in the North of England.

The three projects included the refurbishment and rebranding of 146 apartments in locations including Darlington, Gateshead and Hartlepool.

Each one required a bespoke approach to make the most of each opportunity to provide flexibility for the future.

Jonathan Emmott, Director of Expresso Properties said: “Our first six months in Springboard have been incredibly busy and very exciting.

“With our combined experience and expertise in both commercial and residential property we have already been able to secure and deliver three quite complex projects which our clients are delighted with.

“We have agreed our acquisition criteria for 2014 with our equity funders and we are very positive about the year ahead.”

Tracey Smith, Managing Director of York Science Park, said: “We are thrilled that Expresso Investments has got off to such a fantastic start in Springboard.

“Their figures reflect that the economy is on the upturn and confidence is returning to the property sector. With their skills and expertise I am sure they will continue to report their success and see sustained growth.”
