Commercial
Peel Hall Business Park, Blackpool is made up of 5 office units & 11 industrial units. The owners purchased the park from receivership in May 2017 and instructed Rowan to transform the empty run-down site into a professional fully let business park. After setting up a resident management company and service charge contribution fund, Rowan have managed to improve the landscaping, drainage, internet and security of the site to the point where it is now fully tenanted.

St George’s Court Business Park, Kirkham consists of 22 office units and has been successfully managed by Rowan over ten years. In this time, Rowan has built up an extremely trustworthy relationship with the owners and managed multiple refurbishment works on their behalf in addition to resolving major issues such as water leaks, power outages and security breaches, whilst consistently maintaining occupancy levels of at least 90%.

Residential
“Chris has listened to what we want, understood well our accounting and building maintenance requirements and acted without delay to speak to contractors, create a budget and make himself available to our owners.’’ RW Buswell
St Johns Wood, Lytham is made up of 15 apartments. The building recently underwent major works to upgrade the roof, install new balconies, repair the lift and replace the Tudor mock cladding. By fully complying with the relevant legislation, communicating effectively with contractors and leaseholders, the work has been completed on schedule and significantly enhanced the building’s capital value according to local estate agents.
“Ian and Gillian are the most trustworthy, genuine and hard-working people you could ever meet. They deal with any issue no matter how trivial.’’ Sue Dosett
Mixed-Use
“I have found Chris very approachable and professional in his dealing with the transfer of the management of our block to Rowan. I would recommend the company to anyone.” Steve Donson
Westend Buildings, Bowness is made up of two restaurant, one shop and 8 apartments. Since taking over in January 2020, Rowan has compiled a thorough plan for major works under Section 20, including roof and chimney repairs, external re-painting, joinery and new guttering. By fully co-ordinating work everything will be completed more cost effectively and in the minimum time-frame. This approach is also critical in minimising disruption to the businesses in this block. Furthermore, we are collaborating with the local council to reduce impact of any work on the surrounding road and ensure public health & safety.
