Alan
Harris is Managing Partner

Managing Partner since April 2025, Alan Harris has overall responsibility for the direction and delivery of the firm’s strategy and vision. As head of the Executive Committee, he is responsible for overall business objectives, operations, risk management and financials. He also ensures the firm maintains the highest client standards and values and to play a leading role in developing future generations of partners.

Alan is one of the UK’s leading mixed-use development consultants. He has over 20 years of experience and is focused on setting the vision for transformative regeneration projects involving local authorities, the private sector and communities.

The world is rapidly changing, and amongst the fastest are those relating to how people communicate and interact with each other – not just online, but in physical environments such as schools, health, workspaces and neighbourhoods we live in. Alan’s expertise lends itself to advising on a variety of integrated sectors and assets to deliver results for city and town centre visions.

Alan’s role in supporting greater collaboration between the public and private sectors, in addition to managing the needs of the community, has been key to his and the team’s success. As government focus on commercialisation continues, public sector intervention will increase, and those in the private sector can’t deliver risk-appropriate returns for stand-alone developments and repurposing.
