Places People Prefer
Our purpose is to create and manage outstanding places that deliver positive outcomes for all our stakeholders on a long term, sustainable basis.
We do this by understanding the evolving needs of the people and the organisations who use our places and the communities who live around them. The deep connections we create between our customers, communities, partners and people help our places to thrive.
Our key strategic focus areas are Campuses, Retail Parks and London Urban Logistics.
Campuses
We are the leading owner and operator of Campuses in the UK.
Campuses bring together best in class buildings with leading sustainability and design credentials, surrounded by attractive public spaces and a range of amenities including shops, gyms, restaurants and bars. Our Campuses are located close to key transport hubs and benefit from excellent connectivity.
Retail
We are the UK’s largest owner and operator of Retail Parks.
Our expertise in Retail Parks has enabled us to capitalise on strong demand for this asset class, from both occupiers and investors. For retailers, retail parks are an important part of an omni-channel strategy as they facilitate ‘click and collect’, return to store and ‘ship from store’. The format of retail parks enables larger sized stores and customer car parking facilities, which reduces the cost of last mile delivery for retailers.
London Urban Logistics
We are targeting development-led opportunities where there is an extreme shortage of urban logistics space.
To complement our retail parks, we are targeting development-led opportunities within the M25 and Zone 1 of London, where demand for logistics space has accelerated rapidly driven by the growth of e-commerce. At the same time the ability to create new space is constrained by a complex planning environment.
Residential
We leave our mark by developing outstanding places to live
Our exemplar track record of quality design includes some of the UK’s most well-regarded residential developments.
The residential assets in our portfolio are a prime example of how we put people at the heart of what we do, making an impact beyond creating unique living spaces.
We leverage our competitive strengths in development to deliver multi-purpose, high-quality spaces with a range of uses in excellent locations.
