  Deloitte helps GLA secure £1bn deal with Chinese developer for east London business park

  Deloitte Real Estate advised the Greater London Authority on the international marketing campaign and procurement process which has secured the first-ever direct entry into the UK for a Chinese real estate developer. The business park will deliver an estimated 20,000 new jobs and £1bn of development investment from Asian companies.

We are supporting the Government’s campaign to attract investment, amplifying the message that the UK is very much open for business. This year, a Deloitte partner joined the Prime Minister, the Mayor of London and the Lord Mayor on trade visits to Brazil, India, Nigeria, Russia and the Middle East, with the aim of encouraging investment. In India, Mayor of London Boris Johnson attended the launch of our ‘India Matters: winning in growth markets’ insight piece, which highlighted opportunities for UK and India cooperation.

We are working with a number of London bodies to promote the city as a major international talent hub, providing research and advice on how to retain and enhance the capital’s leading position. We continue to work with a wide range of international investors who are once again considering the UK as an investment destination.
