Destinations with purpose

REimagine unlocks the potential of destinations where people, businesses, and communities connect.

Projects

Shepherd’s Bush Market

Our team has been working together for decades in various guises but Shepherd’s Bush Market is our first operational project realised by REimagine.

A 109-year-old market on which we are working with Yoo Capital to rejuvenate the market to ensure that it remains to be the heart of W12 for future generations.

Our work ranges from day-to-day operations, strategic advice to the development team, and the creation of a Market Academy where we provide support and training to new and established businesses with the goal of reducing the barriers and risks between having an idea, trying it out in our flexible, plug and space spaces and growing beyond.

What we do

REimagine works with trusted investors, developers, and operators to build agile operational strategies that focus on the creation of local connections, guided by culture and heritage.

Our team approaches each project from the ‘street’ up, prioritising difference, authenticity, resilience, and flexibility.
