The High Life
Co-founder, Paul Eden, explains how Regal London is delivering top-quality living in the English capital—and why Dubai is integral to the company’s plans.
What is Regal London and how it has grown over the years?
We founded Regal London over 20 years ago. Two decades on, we are one of London’s leading privately owned mixed-use developers. We seek to deliver beautiful, highquality homes in undiscovered urban pockets, creating spaces to live, play, and work. Having completed our first development in Hampstead in North West London in 1999, we have since delivered over 2,000 new homes across some of the capital’s most soughtafter locations from Kensington to King’s Cross and from Clapham to Shoreditch.
Originally a team of two, we are now a fully integrated business of more than 140 experts, but we are still close-knit and continue to deliver world-class customer service.
London enjoys international appeal. How important is it for you to develop and maintain a global presence?
One of our unique qualities is our global presence. We span four international regions with dedicated offices and teams in each, including an office in Downtown, Dubai.
Following the success of our inaugural property showcase at the Four Seasons Jumeriah Dubai last year, we are excited to be returning with what will now be an annual fixture for the Ramadan season, this year continuing until 8th June. The event heralds the start of our exciting new project with Al Jalila Foundation, a charity dedicated to transforming lives through medical research, education, and treatment in the U.A.E.
What makes you different to other real estate developers?
Our global on-site presence in Dubai, which is a rarity for U.K. developers, allows us to fully understand our U.A.E. buyer demographic. Unlike many other developers, we have our own in-house construction team, and are in complete control of the quality and design of our homes and wider spaces that we create. We put the customer at the center of everything we do, ensuring outstanding quality and service at every stage of the process. We take real joy in ensuring that our buildings are not only beautiful but that they also complement and enhance the wider area.
What’s on the horizon for Regal London?
We are excited to share Regal London’s latest collection, which includes some of our finest work to date such as One St John’s Wood, which offers luxury living in the green heart of North West London. The collection also includes The Clarendon, Watford, which provides an exclusive opportunity for investors and those looking for a base within easy reach of London, as the scheme is just 15 minutes from Euston by train. What’s more, we’re launching two new developments in east central London – one in the heart of trendy London Fields, and one in the City of London, both of which are within close proximity to the employment centres of Canary Wharf and Bank.
