Financial returns matter to our partners, but we realise you also require positive solutions that deliver real-life economic and social impact over the long term. Legal & General Group has put over £32 billion* into direct regeneration investments in the UK in recent years, proving to be a partner of choice for local authorities up and down the country.

Drawing on our highly flexible approach, we aim to provide various sources of capital - from lending through to joint-venture partnerships. We are a long-term investor with a placemaking and development capability in-house. What’s more, our scale and expertise allow us to carry out significant urban regeneration projects across the UK, delivering large and complex projects that, we believe, are beyond the reach and capability of others.

As part of our approach to inclusive capitalism, we aim to deliver positive, environmental and societal impact for our clients. With a proven track record of innovation within our real estate portfolio, all our investment solutions are specially designed with the aim of meeting our clients’ evolving environmental, social and governance (ESG) requirements for occupier engagement.
