Gamuda UK

In 2022, Gamuda Land launched its first project in the United Kingdom (UK), West Hampstead Central, followed by Aldgate, 75 London Wall, and moved into the Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) market with Woolwich in London and City Wharf in Glasgow. These are part of the company’s significant expansion plan to add an average of five new overseas projects yearly.

Breaking ground in January 2025, 75 London Wall will be redeveloped by the Gamuda and Castleforge Partners joint venture with a GDV of £1.2 billion (RM7 billion). The landmark redevelopment will transform the building into grade-A sustainable top-tier office spaces of 450,000 square feet with the best ESG standards – BREEAM ‘Outstanding’, WELL Core ‘Platinum’, and NABERS UK 5 Star Design. Located in the heart of London’s financial district, the former Deutsche Bank’s headquarters will feature new commercial units alongside cultural and open, green spaces.

Gamuda’s broader PBSA portfolio strategy pushes towards building 3,000 student beds across the UK by 2029. The GBP100 million (RM603 million) Woolwich PBSA developed is set for practical completion in 2026, while the 492-bed City Wharf PBSA is targeted to welcome students by the 2026/27 academic year.

Featuring an architectural design inspired by the area’s vernacular mansion blocks, West Hampstead Central pays tribute to English heritage and contemporary design. The joint venture project with Astir Living Ltd enjoys a prime location with many of the capital’s top attractions and neighbourhoods located within walking and biking distance, or a quick tube ride away.

The Aldgate development is a joint venture project involving the off-market acquisition of 35a Commercial Road, Aldgate, London E1 1LB, in partnership with YOO Development - part of the international YOO Group (the world’s largest non-hotel residential brand).
