Community

We believe in the transformational power of community. We see its ability to make lives richer and more meaningful. Every project begins with community engagement and success for us is measured by the difference we’ve made on the streets we’ve worked on.

Residents

We seek to incorporate the needs of our residents in every decision that we make. Their views and experiences have influenced how we design the properties and how we have engaged with their community. It’s our dedication to the needs of the end-user that sets Cornerstone apart.

The 'Cornerstone Foundations'

This is the way Cornerstone describes its business philosophy. Each of these 'foundations' is backed up by policies, processes and metrics to ensure every building Cornerstone builds meets their standard.

Beautiful Spaces

Cornerstone sets out to create beautiful spaces that enhance the lives of everyone that interacts with them. It wants its buildings to make people happy with designs that build on the past and reflect what the community wants to see and that the end-user enjoys being in.

Healthy Buildings

Cornerstone buildings have been designed in a way that considers the wellbeing of those that engage with them, from construction through to the long term occupants. The bedrock for this is in creating efficient buildings in a way that minimises environmental impact. Beyond that, Cornerstone buildings take account of how they will be used and they seek to encourage active transport and healthy lifestyles.

Vibrant Communities

Buildings do not sit in a vacuum, they exist within a community. For this reason Cornerstone puts 'Community Engagement' right in the middle of each of its projects to ensure that the buildings make the community better. This foundation also shapes the projects it selects which explains its heart for regeneration and passion in 'bringing light to dark corners'.
