A new gateway to the Knowledge Quarter
Directly opposite Reef+Partners’ own Tribeca development – and moments from the Royal Veterinary College and the Francis Crick Institute – Royal College Place sits at the centre of one of London’s most concentrated clusters of science, healthcare and innovation activity. Once complete, the scheme is expected to support up to 2,300 on-site jobs and reinforce a cluster that already draws on the strength of neighbouring research and academic institutions.

New public spaces — a Street Square, Courtyard Garden, and Southern Green Link — will replace an impermeable, vehicle-dominated industrial site with green, walkable routes through the site. Extensive tree planting and soft landscaping deliver an Urban Greening Factor of 0.3 and a biodiversity net gain in excess of 170%, alongside new play space for the surrounding community.
The development is car-free, with the exception of two blue badge bays, and prioritises walking, cycling and public transport, backed by extensive cycle parking and end-of-trip facilities. Buildings are all-electric and designed to BREEAM ‘Excellent’, targeting net-zero carbon in operation and minimising embodied carbon through responsible material selection and whole-life carbon design.
Proposals for Royal College Place were shaped by an extensive consultation process between April 2025 and March 2026, combining door-to-door engagement, public drop-in events and workshops with local residents, businesses and community groups. That feedback directly informed the evolution of the masterplan, massing, layout and the public realm.
