Established in the Capital.
Delivering for generations.
Established in London since 1897, the Capital remains at the heart of Wates Residential. For generations, we have worked across the city to deliver homes, regenerate neighbourhoods and create places where communities can thrive.
As an urban regeneration specialist, we bring long term commitment, delivery certainty and deep local knowledge. We understand London’s complexity – from planning and phasing to funding, tenure mix and community engagement – and work closely with partners to turn ambition into reality.
Powering trusted partnerships
As the economic engine of the UK, delivering regeneration in London has never been more important.
We are trusted to operate through changing market conditions, combining strong governance, technical expertise and commercial capability to see schemes through. Our experience of joint ventures and long‑term partnerships means we understand shared risk and shared reward, working side by side with local authorities to navigate pressure, complexity and competing priorities.
Our established relationships across London – including long‑standing relationships with the Greater London Authority, borough councils, housing associations and suppliers – position us perfectly to maximise value, realise the strategic priorities of our partners and deliver sustainable outcomes for communities.
Your local experts
Based from our London office, our regional team is deeply embedded in the region, with expertise across development, construction, commercial management, partnerships and sales.
This on-the-ground capability ensures continuity and a clear understanding of local priorities, enabling us to respond effectively to the needs of communities and stakeholders across Wales.
