The Opportunity

Transforming the Olympic Park into a new metropolitan centre will provide unprecedented housing-led, mixed-use development opportunities over the next 25 years. This will be one of the most significant areas of growth in the capital this century.

The Park will encompass superior sports facilities and family-friendly places to live, work and play. With access to its parklands, venues and amenities, and building on London’s best housing traditions, this is a rare opportunity to create a new international destination of choice in East London.

A unique development

There will be new homes, set within vibrant communities with schools and health care facilities, as well as offices, shops, hotels, leisure and other businesses capable of sustaining thousands of new jobs.

The sporting venues, post-Games infrastructure and attractions, and new open spaces and revitalised waterways will be a valuable set of assets, which would usually take generations to bring together in one place. Having this much land in public ownership, with world standard utilities and infrastructure, the potential of the area cannot be underestimated.

All of this presents a unique opportunity for private sector partners to work with us and create exceptional developments in and around what will be a new quarter of the city, just 15 minutes from central London.
