Founded in 1981, we have been developing well for 25 years. We have built a strong track record in developments that combine offices, shops, hotels, cafés, restaurants and - increasingly - other uses including residential; and have become a leading practitioner of city centre regeneration.

We focus on just a few, exceptional schemes at any one time.

We support our major projects with speculative development and world class public realm.

Our CV includes Brindleyplace in Birmingham; the rejuvenation of Piccadilly in Manchester; the redevelopment of brownfield sites in the Thames Valley; major commercial developments in the City of London; and the eight million sq ft planned at King's Cross in London.

The first buildings at King's Cross will be ready for occupation in 2011. By then, Argent will part own, manage or be developing over 10 million square feet of development, with an end value of over £3.5 billion.
