U+I Plc: Portfolio Review
Project Description
Now known as Landsec U+I, the company is a specialist mixed-use regeneration developer that has excelled at re-imagining and re-purposing buildings and places that are no longer fit for purpose. In 2021, U+I asked RealWorth to assess the social value of 20 different projects within its portfolio with a combined value of over £1.5bn
How we Helped
RealWorth analysed and reported on the social value created by the U+I developments.
The analysis revealed the features of each scheme that generated the most significant impacts, described the social benefits that people and organisations had experienced and provided a calculation of the social value created expressed in monetary terms and as a ratio of the expenditure on the development.
RealWorth also provided a series of recommendations highlighting areas of best practice both within U+I and in the wider sector to further enhance the social value potential of the portfolio.
The report was used to show analysts and potential investors how social value featured in U+I’s thinking when they planned for and designed regeneration schemes.
Projects analysed included:
£200M mixed use regeneration scheme
A historic residential-led regeneration scheme
A grade II* listed office building
A £200M leisure-led mixed-use development
A media-led mixed-use development

Very pleasant to work with. [RealWorth] have a very good knowledge of the development process, which is paramount to the work that they do. It is good when you are working with someone in this type of work who has a fundamental understanding of what you’re doing.
