The UK Government is set to make a significant impact at The UK’s Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF), taking place in Leeds from 20–22 May 2025.

This marks the Government’s most substantial engagement yet with the forum, showcasing its commitment to driving nationwide economic growth through collaboration with industry leaders.

Ministers and senior officials from key departments – including the Cabinet Office, Ministry for Housing, Local Government and Communities, Department for Business and Trade, Homes England, Department for Transport, NHS, and the Government Property Agency – will converge at UKREiiF to spearhead discussions with industry and local stakeholders on how to unlock transformative opportunities across the UK.

Mark Chivers, Government Chief Property Officer and Director General at the Office of Government Property, which is coordinating the Government UKREiiF programme, shared his enthusiasm:

“We’re thrilled to be returning to UKREiiF in 2025 with our largest presence yet. Across the three days, we’ll deliver an engaging programme focused on advancing the Government’s missions, and delivering public sector reform, through genuine collaboration and innovation in real estate, property, and investment.

“This event is also a key opportunity to strengthen relationships with the property and real estate sectors, forging partnerships that will drive investment, create jobs, and deliver progress.”

The Government’s presence will be anchored at Pavilion Square, where an exciting lineup of events is being developed to provide insights into key initiatives. Programme highlights will include:

  • Accelerating housing delivery to meet the 1.5 million homes target.
  • Transforming the public estate to be smaller, greener, and more efficient.
  • Unlocking public estate and land assets to fuel regeneration and economic activity.
  • Building dynamic public-private partnerships to spark growth and innovation.
  • Driving sustainability to decarbonise the public estate

Nathan Spencer, Managing Director at UKREiiF, commented: “We’re excited to welcome the UK Government back to UKREiiF with its most extensive involvement to date. Their commitment underscores the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors in driving the UK’s economic development.

“With such a strong ministerial and departmental presence, UKREiiF 2025 will serve as a vital platform for meaningful dialogue, fostering partnerships that will catalyse investment, innovation, and sustainability. We look forward to hosting a programme that delivers tangible outcomes for communities across the UK.”

With this expanded participation, UKREiiF 2025 promises to be a must-attend event for professionals across the real estate and infrastructure sectors. Stay tuned for the release of the full Government event programme, coming soon to the UKREiiF website.
