King’s Cross is being developed by the King’s Cross Central Limited Partnership
The partnership is the single land owner at King’s Cross, making development and delivery easier. Many of the people working on the project have been involved from the beginning. This brings an unusual level of continuity and commitment. The partnership brings together two groups:
Argent King’s Cross Limited Partnership
Backed by Argent, one of the UK’s best respected property developers, and Hermes Investment Management on behalf of the BT Pension Scheme. Argent is the asset manager for King’s Cross. Argent has developed Brindleyplace in Birmingham and Manchester’s Piccadilly.
