The London challenge
London faces unique housing challenges: rising homelessness, growing waiting lists, pressures on temporary accommodation, and a shortage of genuinely affordable homes.
The G15 is already delivering at scale. Our members provide homes for one in 10 Londoners and continue to invest in building new homes across the capital.
We also have a pipeline to build XXXX homes over the next XX years. But delivery depends on the right conditions: stable long-term funding, a planning system that supports growth, and a regulatory environment that protects residents while enabling investment.
At the same time, we’re investing billions in building safety, quality improvements and decarbonisation. These are essential priorities. But they reduce capacity to build new homes unless the policy framework supports long-term reinvestment.
Social rents in London remain historically low relative to the scale of investment now required.
With the right framework, we can increase delivery. We work closely with the Mayor of London and the Greater London Authority alongside central government to understand London’s needs and make the case for the policies and investment required.
Providing new homes
G15 members are the largest providers of affordable housing in London. We deliver at scale, often on complex brownfield sites and through long-term estate renewal, combining development expertise with long-term stewardship.
Our members specialise in:
• major regeneration
• high-density urban delivery
• mixed tenure placemaking
• multi-phase programmes spanning decades.
These long-term, large-scale schemes require patient capital, partnerships, infrastructure investment and policy certainty and funding flexibility.
