He has fulfilled numerous remits for public stakeholders including the GLA, Places for London (formerly TfL) and Homes England. His extensive experience also includes advising Manchester City Council in respect of their interests at Airport City North to facilitate commercial development and the Northern Gateway which will deliver circa 1,500 new homes.

He has also acted on complex regeneration initiatives, providing a breadth of services, which complement his multi-disciplinary offering. A prime example being at Morden Town Centre, Hendon Hub and a portfolio review on behalf of Incommunities. Each of these encompass a range of skills including feasibility, development appraisals, valuation, viability, strategic assembly and engagement with key stakeholders. All of which ensure that clients receive a cost-effective form of advice that fulfils their varied requirements. Jonathan is also a Registered Valuer.
