In 2022, Gamuda Land launched its first project in the United Kingdom (UK), West Hampstead Central, followed by Aldgate, 75 London Wall and Woolwich Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) in London. These are part of the company’s significant expansion plan to add an average of five new overseas projects yearly.
Breaking ground in January 2025, 75 London Wall will be redeveloped by the Gamuda and Castleforge Partners joint venture with a GDV of £1.2 billion (RM7 billion). The landmark redevelopment will transform the building into grade-A sustainable top-tier office spaces of 450,000 square feet with the best ESG standards – BREEAM ‘Outstanding’, WELL Core ‘Platinum’, and NABERS UK 5 Star Design. Located in the heart of London’s financial district, the former Deutsche Bank’s headquarters will feature new commercial units alongside cultural and open, green spaces.
The GBP100 million (RM603 million) PBSA will be developed in a joint venture with Singapore headquartered private equity firm Q Investment Partners (QIP). The project is set for practical completion in 2026.
Featuring an architectural design inspired by the area’s vernacular mansion blocks, West Hampstead Central pays tribute to English heritage and contemporary design. The joint venture project with Astir Living Ltd enjoys a prime location with many of the capital’s top attractions and neighbourhoods located within walking and biking distance, or a quick tube ride away.
The Aldgate development is a joint venture project involving the off-market acquisition of 35a Commercial Road, Aldgate, London E1 1LB, in partnership with YOO Development - part of the international YOO Group (the world’s largest non-hotel residential brand).
