Elephant Park

Under Construction

Elephant Park will breathe new life into a special part of Central London, building on Elephant & Castle’s heritage and delivering high quality new homes, jobs, businesses & green space for Londoners.

Elephant Park is a £2.5bn regeneration project delivering high-quality homes, jobs, business opportunities and green space for Londoners. In partnership with Southwark Council, Lendlease strives to make Elephant Park one of the world’s most sustainable inner-city projects using technologies such as a net zero carbon heat network and other innovations. This flagship project has helped Lendlease set ambitious targets of being Net Zero Carbon by 2025 (scopes 1 and 2) and Absolute Zero by 2040 (scopes 1, 2 and 3).

Kristy Lansdown, Lendlease Project Director of Elephant Park said:
“Elephant Park is setting new standards for sustainable city living. In 2013 we committed to be net zero carbon in operation by 2025, at a time when climate change was not as high on the agenda as it is today. We aim to be among the most sustainable urban regeneration projects in the world. In practice, this means a low-carbon piece of city that improves air quality, becomes a healthier place to be and significantly reduces the use of non-renewable resources.”

A £2.5bn regeneration project delivering high-quality homes, jobs, business opportunities and green space, Elephant Park will be one of the world’s most sustainable inner-city projects using technologies such as a net zero carbon heat network and other innovations. This flagship project has helped Lendlease set ambitious targets of being Net Zero Carbon by 2025 (scopes 1 and 2) and Absolute Zero by 2040 (scopes 1, 2 and 3). Principles of the energy hierarchy were embedded throughout, including an efficient fabric and solar panels. High sustainability standards are also maintained throughout construction, including procuring green electricity and trialling plant including an electric excavator and hybrid digger.
