MAIN SPEAKER:
Topic of Talk: City Centre Development: From Planning Battles to Construction Reality
Join us for the next The Developers Network Birmingham event, bringing together property developers, investors, landlords, and industry professionals for an evening focused on insight, networking, and real opportunities.
This month, we’re joined by Kaan Can, Worcester-based property developer and Managing Director of MKC Property Group and Can Building Services Ltd.
Kaan has built a growing property portfolio while delivering increasingly complex development projects across Worcester, including listed and historic building conversions, mixed-use schemes, and larger residential developments. With a hands-on approach covering acquisition, planning, funding, construction, and delivery, he specialises in finding practical solutions for challenging city-centre sites.
In his session, “City Centre Development: From Planning Battles to Construction Reality,” Kaan will share the realities of taking complex development projects from initial planning through to construction and delivery. He’ll explore the challenges that come with constrained city-centre sites and the practical strategies needed to overcome planning, construction, funding, and logistical hurdles.
This event is ideal for:
✓ Property developers and investors
✓ Landlords looking to grow or reposition their portfolios
✓ Professionals involved in planning, construction, finance, or development
✓ Anyone interested in challenging or complex development opportunities
✓ Anyone looking to build stronger connections and access real opportunities
