We are a property company. We make and manage neighbourhoods and have been doing this for over 340 years. Our heartland is in London’s West End, where we support about 9,000 residents, 870 businesses and 50,000 workers and look after 147 acres of public realm every single day.
We have committed to a decade of action on climate change by dramatically changing the way places in our portfolio are designed, created, and managed. This promise frames our approach to the re-design of Grosvenor Square. Read more about our sustainability commitments here.
Our team care passionately about the quality of public space and the future of this neighbourhood. The project is led by Ed Green and Steve Gilchrist. Amelia Staveley is the Executive Director.
"Our long-term vision means we can deliver real change. Together with a creative team, and a genuine commitment to community participation, we can create something astonishing for London.”
Ed
The re-design of Grosvenor Square is being led by architects, Tonkin Liu, who were appointed in February 2020.
“We are Tonkin Liu. For 19 years we have been designing and delivering highly acclaimed buildings, landscapes, and sculptures. Each project is carefully crafted to the context that frames it, the people that occupy it, and the culture that surrounds it”
Tonkin Liu’s team working on this project is led by Anna Liu, Mike Tonkin, Matt Burnett and Fahad Malik.
“We are thrilled to be part of this important moment in time, for the transformation of Grosvenor Square towards a new ecology; a community of people and nature.”
Anna
“This is an inspiring project that will reshape an important part of London to suit the contemporary need of our time, whilst bringing people closer to nature within the city.”
Mike
We will be supported by engagement experts make:good. The team will work alongside us to make sure people can be actively involved in the new designs for Grosvenor Square.
“Since 2009 make:good has been devising and delivering community engagement, involving local people in local change in a way that is both meaningful and genuine. We deliver engagement projects that focus on keeping local people informed, involved and able to influence change in their local area.
We aim to make participation as easy, accessible and engaging as possible, so we go where people are to make it easy for them to take part and sprinkle a healthy dose of joy onto all the work we do.”
The core team from make:good working on this project will be Catherine Greig, Nataly Raab and Savannah Vize.
“The opportunity to be involved in transforming an urban square into something magical for people and the planet was too good to miss.”
