“Our borough is already one of the capital’s most prosperous enablers for good growth, with a top-performing planning department, new Local Plan, and a strong commitment to partnership working.

“We have one of the most ambitious housing strategies in London and we are looking for investors and developers to help us deliver on this. We know UKREiiF is the place to do that and look forward to returning next year as a partner of the London Pavilion, alongside the West London Alliance.”

Greg Hill, Deputy Chief Executive, The Hill Group, comments, “I’m delighted to confirm our partnership with the London Pavilion at UKREiiF 2025. We’re eager to return to Leeds for this invaluable opportunity to network, discuss vital issues like regeneration and development, and explore how we can deliver the much-needed homes our capital and country requires. Partnerships are fundamental to our business, and with the pressing need for affordable housing across London’s boroughs, our involvement at the UKREiiF London Pavilion marks a crucial date in our 2025 calendar.”

A spokesperson at Places for London said: “Places for London is proud to sponsor the London Pavilion at UKREiiF 2025. As a key platform for exploring the capital’s dynamic real estate landscape, the Pavilion will host vital discussions on market trends, social value creation, and the power of collaborative partnerships in shaping London’s future. We are excited to bring together industry leaders, local boroughs and innovators to drive meaningful conversations about sustainable urban development in one of the world’s most vibrant cities.”

A spokesperson from West London Alliance, said: “West London Alliance is delighted to be contributing to UKREiiF once again in 2025. It has swiftly become an invaluable date in the calendar, and we are looking forward to engaging potential partners with our vision for a more inclusive, more productive, more resilient, and more influential West London – ‘the world’s most connected place’.

“We are excited to be part of the new London Pavilion in 2025, to showcase our welcoming investment environment, established public/private partnership working and leading sector clusters in areas including film and screen and life sciences.

“From Brent Cross to Brentford, Harrow to Heathrow, Old Oak to Olympia and the Great West Corridor to Wembley, West London is abundant with opportunities, and we’re excited to share them!”

Kevin McNulty, Strategic Director at ITS, said: “As the largest pure business full fibre network in the UK, we’re proud to be a headline sponsor at UKREiiF 2025.

“Our extensive coverage means we can provide connectivity across new build, pre-connect and retro fit to drive demand and additional value for both the public and private sector.

“It’s this reach and resilient capability, which is underpinning smart buildings, repurposed street assets, next generation mobile connectivity and core nationwide infrastructure to enable growth, innovation, demand and regeneration where it’s needed.

“Together, let’s deliver a hyper-connected world to transform the places of tomorrow.”

Phil Jenkins, Executive Director of Development for Peabody, said: “We are a major provider of new homes of all tenures in London, and we are fully committed to playing a key role in supporting the government’s ambition to increase housing supply, with a particular focus on delivering more social rent homes for those most in need. There are huge opportunities for significant housing growth in London, including large scale estate regeneration and the repurposing of brownfield land. This could be accelerated if the government designates one or more areas as New Towns, such as Thamesmead, where The Waterfront site has the potential to deliver thousands of new homes, jobs and infrastructure. We look forward to showcasing our work and vision at the London Pavilion during UKREiiF 2025.”

Clare Woodcock, London City Lead at Mott MacDonald said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with UKREiiF again in 2025. UKREiiF provides a forum for us to connect with our clients and engage in meaningful discussions to help drive forward our collective ambitions in the built environment.

We’re excited to utilise the space to stay connected with our clients and stakeholders from across the Capital, showcase some of our projects and of course to hear about strategic plans and ambitions across the London Boroughs.”

Andy Miles, Rightmove’s Managing Director of Commercial Real Estate Says: “UKREiiF is always a highlight in the calendar, providing a place for the CRE industry to meet and exchange ideas. We’re looking forward to hosting a networking lunch, and having relaunched our commercial site, and with big plans for 2025, we’ll have a lot to talk with attendees about.”

Nathan Spencer, Managing Director at UKREiiF said: “We are thrilled to introduce the London Pavilion at next year’s forum, which will serve as a vibrant showcase for the capital’s ambitious projects and initiatives. The overwhelming support from both London Boroughs and private sector organisations underscores the critical role London plays in the UK’s real estate and infrastructure landscape.
