Shoreland Ltd was established in the 1990s by Mark & Iain Collins to enable them to develop their family owned timber yard in Hoxton, London. They obtained planning for permission for a 65,000ft2 mixed use development comprising of 12 apartments, 27 live work units and 30,000ft2 of office space along with a 30 space underground car park. This development went on to win The Evening Standard’s New Homes Award and Best Development Award. This was the catalyst that enabled them to move into full time property development.
