Almost £10bn of “investible opportunities” across London are being showcased as part of a new investment prospectus for the capital.
Compiled by Opportunity London, a public-private partnership established to win capital investment for London, the prospectus comprises nine major development projects across London seeking some £9.6bn of investment.
The projects, which include Barking Riverside (pictured above), Crystal Palace Park Residential, Brent Cross Town and Millennium Mills in Silvertown, have a collective gross development value of £38bn.
Jace Tyrrell, chief executive of Opportunity London, said: “London is a trillion-dollar European economy, the most diverse global city, and has pioneered innovation for over 2,000 years. We have stable political, legal, financial and regulatory environments and consistently deliver returns for investors while deploying that capital for public good.
The prospectus launch comes as new research confirms that London remains the most resilient global real estate market. Analysis from JLL, in collaboration with Opportunity London, shows five-year investment volumes (up to February 2024) totalling $96.2bn (£75.9bn), ahead of New York at $94.3bn and San Francisco at $86.5bn.
Adam Challis, head of research at JLL, said: “In the first year of the new property development cycle, London is positioned ahead of global and European peers to attract capital in terms of pricing, value and the weight of money ready to deploy. We are seeing confidence starting to return to the investment markets, and Opportunity London will help ensure London can attract investment across real estate, energy and infrastructure.”

“While London continues to be the most attractive global city in which to invest, it can also be complex to do so, and Opportunity London exists to smooth that path. Our London investment prospectus has the cross-party backing of every layer of government and the private sector and sets out nearly £10bn of investible opportunities right now. It is the very first time we have all come together in this way, and the list of opportunities will only grow as we continue to engage.”
