British Land, the company that owns and manages Meadowhall, is one of the largest commercial property companies in the UK. We have two areas of expertise – managing and maintaining existing accommodation for our occupiers, such as offices, shopping centres and retail parks, as well as developing new buildings and the environments in which they are situated. We currently own land around Meadowhall and are working with Sheffield City Council towards the creation of a new community for Sheffield within the Lower Don Valley.
British Land has committed to be carbon neutral by 2008/2009 and we recently won an award for being the most sustainable developer within the UK. We ensure that the design of a building is as environmentally friendly as possible. Through our sister company, Broadgate Estates, the ongoing management of our buildings mean that we are able to control initiatives such as recycling, water usage and energy consumption.
We work with the local community at every stage of a development. Therefore this consultation is part of an ongoing dialogue with the residents and visitors to the River Don District, to help us create a sustainable new community for Sheffield.
