TUA welcomes Urban Strategist Jack Tompkins

We’d like to introduce you to Jack, our newest member of team TUA.

Jack joins us from the UK where he was an Associate Director in JLL’s Strategic Development Consulting team. Working across both the London and Regional businesses Jack advised public and private sector clients on some of the UK’s most high-profile and complex regeneration projects such as:

• Arden Cross Development Partner Selection - selection of Muse as development partner for a £3.2bn 346-acre site centred around the new HS2 interchange.
• Defence Infrastructure Organisation - masterplanning, site promotion and delivery strategies across numerous complex sites earmarked for disposal by the MOD.
• University of Southampton - strategic advice to UoS on the delivery of new student housing to support the University’s growth plans.
• Basingstoke and Deane District Council - strategic advice across the Council’s property and development portfolio.
• Network Rail - strategic advice across 40 train stations across the south coast focused on enabling transit oriented development.

With a broad and specialised skillset, honed through this experience managing multi-disciplinary teams to create masterplans with delivery strategies, Jack's appointment further strengthens TUA's capabilities in mixed-use development and precinct delivery as part of our commitment to creating thriving urban environments. 

“I am incredibly excited to be joining The Urban Advisory,” says Jack. “It's inspiring to work alongside thought-leaders like Natalie and Greer who are truly committed to doing things differently and challenging the status quo in urban development. I'm eager to contribute my experience to help catalyse our approach to large-scale, mixed-use development projects, through entrepreneurial public and private sector partnerships.”

Away from the office, Jack grew up on the occasionally sunny shores of Bognor Regis in the UK where he was 1st XV captain for Bognor RFC. Jack took up refereeing after he finished playing and was a part-time referee for the RFU National League Match Official Associates. He has recently joined North Harbour Referees Association and can be found on the pitches of the North Shore most Saturdays.

We’re excited to have Jack on board; he’s already hit the ground running, applying his invaluable experience to our shores here in Aotearoa. Welcome, Jack!
