The investment proposition:

Earls Court is a unique opportunity to rethink a high value Central London site of considerable scale. A multi-phase development introducing a broad mix of property uses across the masterplan and PHASE 1 being brought forward by UK public and private sector and international investors. Opportunities for involvement across residential sectors, offices, culture and logistics.

Key facts:

  • c.40 acres cleared development site in Central London, 3 tube stations adjacent.  
  • 7.5m sq ft mixed use masterplan - a showcase for climate and clean innovation and skills.
  • 2.5m sq ft of office, commercial, culture and retail.
  • c.4,000 new homes including for sale, to rent, later living, student accommodation and affordable housing.
  • 2m sq ft first phase of development (start on site from 2026). 

The Earls Court site is Central London’s largest cleared development opportunity. Comprising c.40 acres 
of land, formerly housing the Earls Court Exhibition Centres, it sits within the boroughs of Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham. A new masterplan for a mixed-use development of 7.5m sq ft has been submitted, with the ambition to create the heritage of the future through exemplary design and sustainability.

The Earls Court Development Company (ECDC) is an Earl’s Court based business, responsible for driving the redevelopment of the site, on behalf of the Earls Court Partnership Limited — a JV between Delancey (on behalf of its client funds), the Dutch pension fund manager APG, and Transport for London (TfL).

ECDC invites people to discover wonder at Earls Court with the transformative development of London’s iconic site of human ingenuity; delivering a celebration of nature’s ability to connect and revive; a showcase for climate and clean innovation and skills; a cultural eco-system for the future of talent; and an inspiring neighbourhood designed for all stages of life.

The development is set to bring c.4,000 homes, 2.5m sq ft of workspace and 12,000 jobs set within a landscape-led development where 20 acres of public open space allows nature to flourish. With three anchor venues, culture and creativity will thrive in a place which brings communities together through entertainment and innovation.
