Talbot Quarter, Bournemouth
Purpose-led redevelopment (£350m GDV )
About the Talbot Quarter
We are working with charity landowner, Talbot Village Trust, to bring forward the Talbot Quarter, a next-generation neighbourhood that will drive economic growth and bring together brilliant talent and pioneering ideas. The Talbot Quarter will serve the charity’s purpose of helping the people of South East Dorset to Live Well.
Talbot Quarter has been strategically master planned to offer a mix of commercial space, R&D facilities, and homes, ensuring a fully integrated community for businesses and residents alike.
By bringing together digital, creative, and healthcare talent, Talbot Quarter creates a unique opportunity for health-tech and age-tech innovation, alongside applied research. Social innovation is in Bournemouth’s DNA and Talbot Quarter gives this heritage new relevance.

Our Role
Acting for the charity, Perspicio run the planning, design and commercial teams and lead the strategy for the £350m GDV vision. Using our proprietary financial model, we ensure the thread of commerciality runs throughout, to deliver long-term commercial and social value.
The Talbot Quarter, adjacent to two universities, includes:
Homes, graduate and student accommodation
Talbot Place - a commercial and cultural hub
A new Nuffield Health hospital
Research and workspace
Heathland Support Area
Having secured planning for the hospital and Innovation Park we are now working with Knight Frank, Christie & Co and Omega RE to seek delivery partners, investors, and occupiers who share the Talbot Village Trust’s ambition to create a world-class innovation district—one that bridges business, research, and quality of life.

As part of this project we ran a creative consultation process with our partners at Make Work Play. We brought local stakeholders together to develop a set of design principles that could inform how Talbot Place came to life. Using Lego Serious Play we explored what this place would need to embody if it were to be a space where they could “live well”.
