Regent Brewers

Project: Regent Brewers
Units: 6 Apartments + Commercial Unit
Location: Durnford Street, Plymouth
Completion Date: 2023
Role: Developer & Contractor

Regent Brewers in Durnford Street Plymouth, is a Grade II Listed Property on the gateway to Plymouth’s Royal William Yard.
Acquired in 2022 by a local development company, this substantial Grade II listed building occupies a prominent position at the gateway to Plymouth’s historic Royal William Yard. Exemplar Living successfully secured planning permission for the sensitive conversion of the upper floors into six luxury apartments, blending heritage with contemporary living.
Work commenced in 2023, with the property’s age and dilapidated condition necessitating extensive structural reinforcements, comprehensive damp treatment, and detailed remediation works. Despite these challenges, the project was completed on time and within budget, showcasing Exemplar’s commitment to efficiency and quality.
Today, the building thrives as a high-specification serviced apartment scheme, catering to discerning corporate clients seeking premium short and long-term lets. This transformation stands as a testament to Exemplar Living’s ability to deliver exceptional craftsmanship and innovative solutions within the constraints of heritage architecture.

We’d heard all the horror stories about builders quoting low, then charging the earth for ‘extras’ and last-minute changes. From the outset, Phil and Craig at Exemplar Living were completely upfront and honest. Any changes we made were talked through properly, with fair pricing and no pressure. We always knew exactly where we stood — and the job came in on budget, which is rare these days! Would definitely recommend.
