Sustainability

Everything’s Connected

 

Canada Water is leading the way in sustainable large-scale regeneration projects in the UK. We’ve worked with expert partners to create a place that embraces wellness and nature, that’s climate ready and inclusive, that’s diverse and filled with opportunity and one which truly works in partnership with the existing community. 

We know that all of these elements are connected in order to build success, and we aim to set new standards for what’s possible: a place that treads lightly while making a positive difference – now and for generations to come.
