We Are Landsec

This is how we’ve created the UK’s leading portfolio of urban places and one of the largest real estate companies in Europe.

We’ve honed this ability over 80 years. Spotting the opportunities, building the partnerships, and continually adapting to shape the places that meet the needs of a changing world.  

Places where life happens. Where businesses grow. And where cities are defined.
