Description

Who are Peel L&P?
When you hear Peel L&P, you may think of MediaCity, the Trafford Centre, the Bridgewater Canal, or Liverpool Waters. But we are much more

We are an ambitious regeneration and development business which owns and manages property, land and water across the UK.

To keep it simple and straightforward, we specialise in large scale mixed-use regeneration schemes, residential, retail industrial & logistics, hospitality & leisure, and low carbon energy projects.

We have been around for quite a while too.

Our family ran business was established in 1972 and we strive to make a positive impact on communities and work closely with local Governments to help tackle unemployment, reach net zero carbon targets, solve the housing crisis and level-up the country's regions to improve the prosperity, climate resilience and health and wellbeing of communities.

We've accelerated our action towards addressing climate change and biodiversity loss, and our five-year sustainability plan is aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

We were also the first company in the UK to third party verify buildings as net zero carbon, as defined by the UK Green Building Council.

We see possibility. We deliver transformation.
