Related Argent

We are delighted to have won the Future of Real Estate category at last week's 20th anniversary EG Awards. This award recognises the hard work and dedication of our brilliant colleague, Al Beevers who is truly moving the dial on health and safety in the real estate industry. Health and safety can often be a watchword for caution, but tackling some of society’s greatest H&S challenges requires continual innovation and a relentless ambition to try new things. As well as leading a comprehensive refresh of our health and safety policy with an explicit and strategic focus on innovation, Al has spearheaded an annual ‘H&S Innovation Challenge’ which offers funding for novel innovations from our supply chain that are tested on our projects. This has resulted a several UK and world firsts, including the UK’s first ever pilot drone clean of the windows and façade of a high-rise, city centre building in King’s Cross.   Keeping health and safety at the heart of Related Argent projects is fundamental to Al’s ethos, so this award is much-deserved. Huge congrats to Al! #EGAwards2024

We are excited to announce that from spring 2025, we'll be welcoming competitive socialising brand, Electric Shuffle to the Parkside neighbourhood in King's Cross. The arrival of the cocktail and shuffleboard bar taps into the significant growth of competitive socialising and provides a permanent leisure activity for those who live, work, study and visit the estate. This follows the huge success of our seasonal competitive socialising activations, Club Curling and Club Petanque. Parkside, the area surrounding Lewis Cubitt Park, is the last remaining retail neighbourhood available to lease and features 20 retail units ranging from circa 700 sq to 9,000 sq ft. News of Electric Shuffle comes hot on the heels of a clutch of other retail signings this autumn, which you can read more about here: https://lnkd.in/eg5nqNQB

In part two of our colourful Christmas launch at King's Cross, we have unveiled 'Fluorescence' by British visual artist, Liz West. Fluorescence is the latest in our annual Granary Square winter installation series, which has seen many brilliant artists present their work over the last 10 years. It is part of our ongoing commitment to providing free and accessible public art to those who live, work, study and visit King's Cross. The 10.7m high tetrahedron is a sight to behold and it is already brightening up these shorter, darker days. You can find it on Granary Square until the end of February 2025: https://lnkd.in/ePY5QE6J 📸 John Sturrock

We are pleased to announce a new partnership with SNG (Sovereign Network Group) to bring forward 50 new social rented homes at our £8bn, 180-acre Brent Cross Town development, which we are delivering with Barnet Council. SNG will fund and manage the 50 new homes, alongside grant funding from the Greater London Authority (GLA). The one, two and three-bedroom tenure blind homes will provide much-needed affordable homes for the area when complete in mid-2027. This is the second phase of affordable homes at Brent Cross Town, following the upcoming completion of 120 affordable homes later this year. Brent Cross Town is set to deliver 6,700 homes, including affordable options, market-sale, build-to-rent, co-living, student and later-living alongside new public parks and community infrastructure.
