The Crown Estate's commercial portfolio comprises a wide and varied mix of properties ranging from Grade I listed buildings— we are one of the largest owners of listed buildings in the UK — to new purpose built modern offices, retail and shopping centres.

Our 14.8 million sq ft of offices and retail are spread throughout the United Kingdom though predominantly in central London and the West End including the international shopping destination of Regent Street.

It is a property portfolio where opportunities are sought, both to add to and enhance the quality of our investments. There a number of building refurbishments presently under way across the portfolio and particularly in Regent Street, where the new headquarters for The Crown Estate is based.

The Crown Estate takes seriously its role as steward of some of the country’s finest buildings and streetscapes and strives to integrate social and environmental concerns in its business operations and in its interaction with stakeholders.

The Crown Estate supports The Code of Practice for Commercial Leases. Alternative lease terms will be considered across the portfolio.
