Meet Our Members – Newsteer

At HubHub, our community is more than just a workspace; it’s a network of brilliant minds building bold ideas. Through our Meet Our Members series, we shine a light on the people and teams turning vision into impact, right here in our spaces. This time, we caught up with the team at Newsteer — real estate advisers helping to shape the places where people live, work and thrive. From unlocking complex development sites to creating lasting community impact, they’re redefining how great places get made.

 

Elevator pitch time! Can you tell us about your company and what you?

We’re Newsteer – planners, development consultants and asset advisers helping to shape the places where people live, work and thrive. Think of us as real estate problem-solvers: we don’t just advise, we help unlock value, reduce risk and give clients the confidence to move forward with complex developments sites and ambitious projects.

 

How does your business make a positive impact-whether that’s in your industry, the community, or even just making Mondays more bearable?

We help create places that work – for people, for communities and for the businesses investing in them. From unlocking new homes and regenerating neighbourhoods to ensuring development is commercially viable and socially valuable, we’re all about long-term impact.

Inside the company, we’ve built what we call the “Newsteer neighbourhood”: a supportive culture where talented people thrive and careers grow.

 

What’s a project, achievement, or milestone that makes you and your team extra proud?

We’ve helped unlock and redevelop major areas of London like Brent Cross and Woolwich, creating thousands of new homes and community facilities. We’ve navigated the tricky planning process for developments such as Charlton Riverside and Barking Riverside, and guided well-known occupiers – including Auto Trader, Tesco, and John Lewis – through important moves and portfolio decisions.

 

What’s next for your company?

We’re leaning further into areas where our expertise really matters: distressed sites, land assembly & compulsory purchase, estate optimisation, senior living and Build to Rent.

We’re investing in digital insight – better data to help clients model viability, ESG impact and delivery risk.

And we’re continuing to grow our Newsteer neighbourhood – mentoring talent, keeping collaboration strong and staying innovative.

 

Is there anything surprising, or exciting you’d like the HubHub community to know about your team or work?

Some of the UK’s biggest retail, leisure and tech names – Topgolf, Tesco, Asda, Marks & Spencer, John Lewis & Partners, Auto Trader – trust us with their most complex real estate decisions.

We don’t just write reports; we stay involved through delivery. We roll up our sleeves, navigate complexity and make sure strategies turn into real results.

 

How can you support fellow HubHubers – and how can they support you?

If you’re working on development potential, regeneration, planning risk or complex mixed-use sites, we’d love to collaborate.

We’re also keen to connect with innovators in proptech, ESG and digital planning tools, and to partner on events, content or thought leadership around shaping cities and future living.
