  • 🤝 Great to have you on board 🚇   We are pleased to have Delancey as a committed member of the Business4Bakerloo campaign. The work Delancey has already done in redeveloping Elephant and Castle town centre – including a cutting-edge Integrated Ticketing Hall – is vital to the mission to turn the Bakerloo line into a world-class tube line. Businesses like Delancey are essential to the success of this project and we look forward to continuing this partnership 🚇🏗️   #Biz4Bakerloo #BackTheBakerloo #Bakerlooline

    🚇 Supporting the proposed Bakerloo Line extension   Delancey is proud to be part of Business4Bakerloo, a coalition of London businesses supporting the Bakerloo Line Upgrade and Extension (BLUE) and calling for the UK Government to make this a priority.    Extending the Bakerloo Line will:   📈 Boost the UK economy by £1.5bn each year 💻 Create 150,000 jobs across the country 🏗️ Support the construction of 107,000 new homes along the line 🛍️ Generate close to 200,000 sqm of additional commercial floorspace   When Transport for London ran a consultation on support for the project they found that 89% of respondents were in favour, and the BLUE already has the backing of Seb Dance and Southwark, Lewisham and Brent councils.   So many supporters from across London’s business and transport community came to the launch event, sharing their vision for a better-connected London. As the developers of the renewed Elephant and Castle, where the Bakerloo Line currently finishes, we’re keen that more Londoners are able to visit the development and enjoy the fantastic new town centre that our team is helping bring to life.    With Get Living, we’re already investing over £2bn in the regeneration of Elephant and Castle and Lewisham. This includes the delivery of a new Integrated Ticket Hall for the Elephant & Castle Underground station which will eventually serve the Bakerloo Line extension giving it a decent head start before it is even approved.    Make sure to follow Business4Bakerloo for the latest updates and to sign up to the campaign.   #DelanceyRealEstate #BackTheBakerloo #GetLiving | Richard Palmer

  • 🚂 Our Business4Bakerloo campaign kicked off this week with a packed launch event at Central Hall in Westminster. We were joined by supporters, funders, industry representatives and government officials to discuss how the Bakerloo Line Upgrade and Extension (BLUE) will improve London’s transport infrastructure, supporting local communities and driving job opportunities across London. 🟤 Seb Dance, the Deputy Mayor for Transport, called for London to unite around the joint mission of ensuring the delivery of a truly world-class tube line. 🟤 Campaign funders, Richard Palmer, Development Director at Delancey and Chris Hogwood, Managing Director at Landsec highlighted how the BLUE will unlock opportunities for growth which, in turn, provides tangible improvements in people’s lives. 🟤 Cllr Kieron Williams, the Leader of Southwark Council, and Mili Patel, the Deputy Leader of Brent Council, spoke about the prosperity the BLUE would bring to the communities they represent as well as allowing people along the line access to every corner of London. 🟤 Alex Williams, TfL, emphasised how the BLUE is an effective project to support the Government’s ambitions of delivering 80,000 new homes in London and is a project that can – and should – be commenced immediately.
