GBA: Places | Country: United Kingdom

With a property portfolio that includes over 1,000 retail units, 850 railway arches, and hundreds of acres spanning nearly every London borough, Places for London – Transport for London (TfL)’s property company – is one of the capital’s most influential urban developers. In July, we were appointed alongside Mott MacDonald as the organization’s new Technical Delivery Service Partners.

Drawing on our multidisciplinary expertise – from project management and cost consultancy to urban planning and sustainability – we are supporting Places for London on two main objectives. First, to build thriving commercial and retail spaces that support local businesses and drive economic growth. Second, to deliver enhanced public spaces, cycling infrastructure, and pedestrian-friendly environments.

Over the course of this four-year contract, we will play a pivotal role in maximizing the value of Places for London’s extensive asset portfolio. This will generate vital revenue for reinvestment into TfL’s capital projects and create long-term social and economic benefits for local communities.

Arcadis' expertise will help us deliver thousands of new homes, retail and office-led developments, plus help us improve our existing properties to provide an enhanced experience for all.
