On Thursday, 25 July 2024, a summer party was hosted at Imperial Apartments, Caridon Property Group’s flagship development in Bristol. At the event, more than 50 adults and children joined together to have fun and form supportive friendships in a heart-warming demonstration of community spirit. Attendees enjoyed a fun a festive atmosphere, with an ice cream van, snacks, music, bubbles and children’s entertainer.
Recognising the importance of building relationships within communities, particularly for those who have moved to new location and lack a local support network, Caridon Property Group hosted the summer party to encourage social inclusion and instil a sense of belonging among residents. Entertaining children throughout the school holidays can be challenging for parents, particularly for families living on a low income. Caridon Property Group recognises the importance of events like the summer party to provide valuable experiences for families who may struggle to afford such activities otherwise.
Feedback on the summer party at Imperial Apartments was overwhelmingly positive, with one resident reflecting that it was great to see all the events being organised for Imperial Apartments and another resident stating: ‘Brilliant idea, my daughter loved it, amazing that this is offered quite literally downstairs from where I live. This is truly amazing and my daughter and I very much look forward to attending anything else in the future.’
Caridon Property Group also hosted a coffee morning on Thursday 8 August 2024 in advance of Book Lovers Day, providing a reading corner for children and a collection of books for residents. To ensure they included the most in-demand children’s books, Caridon Property ran a social media poll to gather ideas for children’s favourite books. Based on the results of the poll, Caridon Property Group purchased a selection of titles for young readers and handed them out for children to keep at Imperial Apartments, as well as putting some books in the ‘Little Libraries’.
Imperial Apartments is situated a stone’s throw from a large retail park filled with superstores and an array of dining experiences and leisure activities. The development boasts numerous onsite amenities, including a landscaped Zen Garden and a well-equipped soft play area for children complete with an iPad station and educational games. There is also an onsite meeting and conference room that is used for upskilling and training courses.
Each apartment is brand new and fully furnished, incorporating open plan living areas designed with careful consideration of use of space to provide compact yet stylish living. Comprising studios and one and two-bedroomed apartments, the development provides lift access, internal and external CCTV, a high-tech fob entry system, solar panels ensuring all apartments benefit from a B+ energy rating, as well as electric car charging points and fibre optic broadband for all residents.
