The Landings was to become a high-quality, architecturally designed commercial business park comprising 175ha.
Project Overview
The development aims to enhance open spaces while maintaining a practical and flexible canvas for future utilisation and tenants.
We’ve delivered over five significant contracts, often in succession, and take great pride in seeing The Landings progress and become home to some of the world’s largest companies.
