In 2015, we acquired Spillers Mill, a historic flour mill, following it’s redevelopment (by Hill Residential) to create 19 luxury apartments. Located adjacent to Cambridge central train station, Spillers Mill is in the heart of the visionary CB1 gateway regeneration project.
Howard Group identified a unique opportunity to add this piece of Cambridge history to its residential portfolio by acquiring the freehold of this iconic mill building. The unbroken freehold of 19 high-end and individually designed apartments sits directly opposite Cambridge train station.
Originally built for the Foster family in 1896 before being acquired by the Spillers bakery business in 1947, the purchase of Spillers Mill has particular significance for family-owned company Howard Group. The freehold acquisition is a key milestone in the company’s 85-year history and further supports the long-term strategy of developing and acquiring high quality assets in Cambridge and the region.
Howard Group's association with property developers Hill Residential presented the opportunity for Spillers Mill to be acquired off market, with a pre-sale agreement in place prior to completion.
