Here for a
greener, kinder & more connected London
We are TfL’s property company, and we have big plans for the capital. With 5,500+ acres of land stretching across almost every borough TfL is one of London’s largest landowners...
Building a city for all of us
We already provide space for hundreds of incredible businesses, now we’re going further to create even more of the spaces that all kinds of businesses need to thrive.
We’re building more than 20,000 new homes in the next ten years. And by homes we mean sustainable, desirable, beautiful homes, many of them affordable – where Londoners can grow their roots.
Whilst upgrading existing workspaces, we’ll be delivering 3,000,000 sq ft of some of the most sustainable, flexible and connected office space in the capital.
