Property Development:

The Duke of Westminster’s property firm, Grosvenor Estates, has pledged to build 30,000 homes by 2023. Grosvenor, one of the oldest landlords in the country, and landlords of much of Mayfair and Belgravia for the last 340 years, wants to branch out and mastermind building new communities in Britain.

Grosvenor plans to work closely with developers, local authorities and landowners, using its property expertise to “open doors� and put together large sites of between 2,000 and 5,000 homes. It says it is prepared to bankroll the costs of infrastructure such as schools and roads, in exchange for fees later on.
