  The London Society is delighted to welcome Derwent London as a new Corporate Supporter.   Derwent London plc owns a 5.6m sq ft portfolio of commercial real estate predominantly in central London valued at ÂŁ4.8 billion as at 30 June 2017, making it the largest London-focused real estate investment trust (REIT). We typically acquire central London properties off-market with low capital values and modest rents in improving locations, most of which are either in the West End or the Tech Belt. We capitalise on the unique qualities of each of our properties ‚ taking a fresh approach to the regeneration of every building with a focus on anticipating tenant requirements and an emphasis on design.
In 2017 major deals were secured on our development at 80 Charlotte Street in Fitzrovia W1 and our flagship project White Collar Factory in Old Street EC1 completed. Our landmark canalside development Brunel Building in Paddington W2 continues apace and will be completed in 2019. The Group won awards from the RIBA, Civic Trust, Property Week and EG and is listed 12th in the Corporate Knights Global 100 of the world’s most sustainable companies.
