City Hall launches housing arm for UK property

City Hall has officially launched a dedicated housing arm, marking a significant step towards becoming an active developer in the UK property market. This strategic move was announced by Mayor Sadiq Khan, who described the initiative as the beginning of a new era for housebuilding in London.

The establishment of this new division signals a shift in the role of the capital’s administration, moving from a regulatory body to a direct participant in property development. Mayor Khan emphasized that this expansion is designed to accelerate the delivery of new homes and address the ongoing housing shortage within the city.

By taking on the role of an active developer, City Hall aims to directly influence the pace and scale of residential construction projects.
