London Real Estate Forum

Name: London Real Estate Forum
Start: 2026-09-16
Location: Guildhall, London

The London Real Estate Forum (LREF) brings together leaders from the industry, public sector, government, investment and business communities, to drive sustainable investment and development in cities.

The annual London Real Estate Forum will be held on Wednesday 16th September and hosted at Guildhall. It brings together leaders from the industry, public sector, government, investment and business communities, to drive sustainable investment and development in cities.

This year’s theme, “Connectivity”, explores how the links between people, places and sectors will define London’s next chapter. London is already one of the most connected cities in the world – through its global networks, diverse communities and position at the centre of international trade, investment and innovation. But as the city faces generational challenges such as AI, climate change and shifting geopolitics, the question is no longer whether we are connected, but how well those connections work. This is where those connections turn into real-world outcomes.

We are once again sponsoring this year's conference and also hosting a panel discussion.

Old Library | Interactive Stage | 12:00 – 12:45pm

Our panel topic

Built on Partnership: 10 Years of Broadgate

Marking ten years of the Broadgate Framework, this session explores what it takes to deliver large-scale, multi-site regeneration through a long-term single redevelopment partnership.

With over £1 billion invested by British Land and GIC across six schemes, each conditional on the success of the last, the framework relied on a one-team approach between client, investor and delivery partners. Lessons learned on earlier sites and digital construction advancements informed later phases improving design decisions and identifying opportunities across the programme.

The panel will unpack what made this partnership work in practice: the principles that underpinned collaboration, and what the industry can learn, including what could have been done differently and why this approach has yet to be adopted more widely.

Speakers

Charles Horne – British Land
Kate Bunting – Ramboll
Katie Stewart - Exec Director for Environment for City
