Landsec

Today, we introduce our new purpose: shaping places that stand the test of time. And alongside this, our refreshed brand. While the last year we’ve reflected on our 80-year history. And the places we’ve curated in this time too. We’re marking a new era today that looks to the future, that brings new ideas, re-clarified culture, a reinvigorated purpose and commitment to shaping places with meaning. Places that create value for everyone connected to them.  For 80 years, Landsec has been built on places that stand the test of time. Places where life happens. Where businesses grow. And where cities are defined. You'll be seeing further examples of our refreshed identity throughout the year. But for now, don’t just take our word for it. Take a look: ⬇️ 

This summer, we’ve partnered with British Land, Grosvenor, Hammerson, SEGRO plc, and GPE to deliver an industry insights programme for 26 interns across the real estate sector 🏢 Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome the cohort to Landsec Head Office to celebrate the three-week programme’s conclusion. From site tours and sustainability masterclasses to strategy discussions and employability skills sessions, the programme has provided unbeatable insight into the extensive career opportunities available in our sector. Now in its second year, this collaboration reflects our shared commitment to inclusivity, enhancing access to our industry, and supporting the next generation of real estate professionals. We’re proud to be part of this collective effort to showcase our industry as a welcoming and dynamic career destination. Thank you to all of our interns who took part this year, we wish you the best of luck.

Today we’ve received unanimous planning approval to build the first 879 homes in Mayfield 🏗️   Designed by Studio Egret West and shedkm, the first phase of residential development at Mayfield Park will deliver high-quality one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes that’re surrounded by vibrant green spaces and leisure spots.   Following on from the start on site of The Republic, the first office building in the North West to break ground in 2025, Manchester’s Mayfield Park is already recognised as one of the UK’s most innovative urban developments and today’s approval is another significant step in delivering sustainable park-side living and working to the district.   As part of the first step of development, Mayfield Park will not only expand by 40%, but also offer podium and rock gardens, coworking lounges, and 36,000 sq ft of shops, restaurants, and community space.
