In Central London

Thinking like hoteliers

We joined forces with the Architects Journal to funnel the best architects and the best ideas through the Future Office competition. The contest, open to all UK-based architects, asked entrants to consider how inspiring and effective workplaces would operate from 2020 onwards, based on changing ways of living and working and new technology. 

James Cooksey, Director of our Central London portfolio, reflects on the competition and his renewed thinking around thinking more like a hotelier than a real estate company. 

Brexit not the only factor facing real estate

At a time when Brexit is top of mind for UK economy and the real estate sector, other significant factors can be easily overlooked.

Paul Clark, our Chief Investment Officer, shares his views on the forces facing UK real estate and what we focus on to continue creating brilliant places for the long-term.

Wild West End is a natural success

Through our Wild West End partnership, we’re creating a green corridor linking Regent’s Park and St James’s Park. This is encouraging birds, bees and bats back into this iconic area of London and creating opportunities for people to experience nature during their daily lives, an important factor proven to benefit wellbeing.

A recipe for a better food future

To coincide with WWF’s Earth Hour in March 2018, we partnered with a dozen restaurants across Regent Street and St James’s Market on the ‘One Planet Plate’ campaign, a worldwide movement which demonstrates how food can help us live better on planet earth.
