Get Living, one of the UK’s leading build-to-rent operators with a portfolio comprising almost 5,000 homes in five neighbourhoods across the UK, has appointed retail agents for its mixed-use Elephant & Castle Town Centre development.
Time Retail Partners and P-Three have been jointly appointed to lead the retail, leisure and food & beverage leasing of the scheme, which is one of the capital’s major regeneration projects.
When it launches in 2026, Elephant & Castle Town Centre will be a new destination in London’s Zone 1, with 140,000sq ft of retail, food & beverage and leisure space, 55,000sq ft of work space and almost 500 new homes for rent. Located next to Elephant & Castle train station, it will also deliver a state-of-the-art campus for UAL’s London College of Communication and major infrastructure improvements to public transport, including a new London Underground station.
The c.50 units on the ground and first floors of the scheme will line the new public streets, which connect the train station, London Underground station, Elephant Park and the wider area, enabling a flow of residents, visitors and commuters. A new public square will sit at the heart of the scheme, providing a space for events throughout the year.
Elephant & Castle Town Centre is a central part of the wider regeneration of the area, which includes over £4bn of public and private investments and 26 projects across the borough.
Richard Allen, Asset Director at Get Living, said: “We’re delighted to have Time Retail Partners and P-Three on board for Elephant & Castle Town Centre. Major mixed use developments such as this don’t come along very often and we’re excited by the huge opportunity ahead of us, delivering a new retail and leisure hub in the heart of Elephant & Castle. The independent and established brands coming to the scheme will become a part of a thriving place, with the wider area already known for its eclectic mix of restaurants, cafes and bars. In the heart of the community, Elephant & Castle Town Centre will be a melting pot for local people, visitors, commuters and students alike, firmly establishing this historic part of London as a major destination for the future.”
