Earlier this year, nine executive leadership team members (ELT) were each paired with a more junior colleague for a six-month reverse mentoring opportunity. Each ELT member spoke to Landsec colleagues to learn more about their personal experiences, which included maternity leave, LGBT+ inclusion, neurodiversity, and ethnic diversity. The initiative is part of both our commitment to building inclusive leaders and supporting the development of diverse talent. As a real estate industry leader, we're committed to prioritising diversity and inclusion at all levels. Here's CEO of Landsec U+I, Mike Hood and Senior Digital Marketing Manager Leeanne (Lil) Couch's experience: 👇

We’ve been part of #Lewisham for 20 years as owners of Lewisham Shopping Centre, and today, we’ve submitted a hybrid planning application to transform the 1970s development in into a vibrant new design 🌳   The 17-acre masterplan—designed by SEW and in consultation with more than 2,500 members of the local community—includes 1,700 new homes, 445 co-living residences, 300 trees established, 3 additional town squares, a roof-top urban meadow to boost biodiversity, and up to 660 student beds.   In Lewisham, we’re already attracting 14m visitors each year, and delivering £3.4m of social value and a total £17.5m of economic contribution since 2019. Today’s #regeneration masterplan looks to generate more sustained, long-term value in the area by further reduced climate impact, more green spaces, elevated innovation hubs and entertainment, and additional housing.   Read more in The London Standard: https://lnkd.in/e5BS5mRi   #MoreThanAPlace

We're celebrating the 15th birthday of St David’s Cardiff 🎈   First opening in October 2009, our St David’s development transformed Cardiff into one of the UK’s top shopping destinations with nearly one million square foot of premium retail space.   Today, it’s home to more than 180 independent shops and restaurants—from attracting international brands to championing Welsh independents. And with a £17m investment plan submitted in August to transform unused space into a new city square, we’re committed to growth that supports more people to live, work, and spend time in the vibrant city centre.   This year’s #Landsec80 campaign is showcasing the 80-year impact of our places across the UK. The regeneration of St David’s is one of these historic landmarks, and exemplifies how we’re creating sustainable, long-term value for people, communities, and businesses.

75% of disabled people and their families have reported walking away from an organisation because of poor #accessibility or customer service.   As an industry, we have a responsibility to address these inequalities, and to position inclusivity at the front and centre of all planning and design discussions. That's why we recently published our Inclusive Design Principles, which support us and everyone we work with in delivering best-in-class accessible, useable, and welcoming spaces: 👉 https://lnkd.in/egJmQPrX   We welcome today's Inclusive Spaces and Places inclusive design report from The Crown Estate and Grosvenor, and look forward to working with our peers across the industry to create spaces that are truly for all.
