Opportunity London CEO, Jace Tyrrell, on launching the second iteration of the London Investment Prospectus as international investors descend on the City of London for the Global Investment Summit.
Fresh off the train from Liverpool where we heard from the new government as they mapped out their plans to continue to drive growth in the UK at the Labour Party Conference and we are putting London firmly back in focus as we launch the second iteration of our London Investment Prospectus.
Our ‘London Dozen’ of £10.6bn of investment opportunities is being presented this week to over 300 global investors and our partners at our Summit, held in the heart of the City of London at Guildhall and featured as part of the London Real Estate Forum.
As London’s trillion-dollar economy continues to pioneer innovation in real estate, energy, and infrastructure, the macro-picture for real estate investment is improving. As real estate investment volumes start to tick back towards pre-pandemic levels, the private sector is calling on the UK government to support critical development opportunities.
London’s development pipeline includes £10.6bn of investible opportunities worth £44bn GDV ranging from: London’s first purpose-built film campus; a low-carbon heat network that recovers waste heat from London Underground; transport interchange improving accessibility for one of London’s major stations, 300-resident strong town centres; a major, inner London best-in-class, mixed-use development on the doorstep of a new Elizabeth Line station; and an 85-acre, waterside regeneration masterplan creating 10,000 homes and 6,000 jobs. The future phases of the 42-acre Battersea Power Station development, which once complete, will offer space for 25,000 people to live and work on site, alongside 3m sq ft of commercial space, approximately 4,000 new homes, over 250 shops, cafes and restaurants and 19 acres of public realm.
Our core mission is clear; the public and private sector must come together to lead the world in securing £100bn of investment into and across London’s low carbon real estate, energy and infrastructure. This collective spirit continues to resonate with investors both locally and globally.
