developing for the world we need next

We’ve been creating mixed-use communities for the good of People, Place and Planet for over 20 years. We’re proud to be the world’s first UN-recognised responsible real estate investment fund, and the UK’s first real estate B Corp.

Part of Places for People, the UK’s leading social enterprise, we work with partners and Communities to understand the future needs of our towns and cities, and use our industry-leading Footprint® methodology to deliver impactful regeneration, at scale.

catalysing change

Where others see challenges, we see opportunity. We combine vision and ambition to create transformative neighbourhoods that lead by example.

championing character

We always approach regeneration through a lens that captures and enhances the character and potential of a place, creating unique developments that deliver lasting impact.

maximising impact

Using our Footprint® methodology, we create sustainable neighbourhoods that are rooted in social, environmental and economic benefits.

creating spaces that bring us together

Through collaboration and partnership, we dig into the societal challenges of the places we develop to create, enrich and connect Communities.

leading with honesty and integrity

From initial design to final delivery, we walk the walk. While we’re upfront about potential challenges, we always focus on delivering solutions.

generating responsible returns

Through our balanced investment approach, we create social value for Communities and outperforming returns for investors.

guided by our industry-leading Footprint® methodology

Throughout each of our projects, we measure and maximise our impact by using our rigorous Footprint® development process. Its six dimensions - Climate, Circularity, Nature, Place, Community and Wellbeing - help us uncover the opportunity and potential of a space to deliver the best outcomes that respond to specific place-based challenges.

In 2023, we joined the Places for People group, which has helped us scale our impact and regeneration projects across the UK.  

Working alongside responsible, social value fund manager, Thriving Investments, has enabled us to accelerate and diversify our projects, to deliver more housing options for people and more great places for Communities.
