In 2015, Argent and Related joined forces to create an unrivalled UK property business and urban regeneration specialist.

Our company brings together the expertise and track record of Argent – the developer behind some of Britain’s most successful mixed-use places, and Related – one of the most innovative and prolific real estate companies in the US. Our combined experience delivering groundbreaking projects such as King’s Cross in London, Hudson Yards and Deutsche Bank Center in New York, Brindleyplace in Birmingham, The Square in West Palm Beach, Florida and The Grand LA in Los Angeles is brought to bear on each of our projects.

We are a complete developer-owner-operator working across a range of property sectors including residential, workspace, education, shopping, hospitality and leisure. Our work goes beyond bricks and mortar development. We specialise in the services, facilities and experiences that are so important to urban life – art, culture, events, schools, skills & training programmes, renewable energy networks.

The business already has an £9Bn+ pipeline with major regeneration schemes at Brent Cross and Tottenham Hale, as well as a Build to Rent (BtR) scheme at King’s Cross. We are accessing global capital markets to deliver major new projects across the UK. We are also seeking to expand our BtR housing portfolio, drawing on Related’s 40-year plus experience of developing, owning and operating over 80,000 rental homes. Learn more about Related here.

Argent continues to operate alongside Related Argent and is the development and asset manager at the King’s Cross Estate and at St Pancras Hospital. Our talented people work together as one team across all our projects.
