St William, a joint venture between National Grid and Berkeley Group, is redefining urban regeneration by turning industrial sites into sustainable, thriving communities across London and the South of England. With the backing of two industry leaders, we tackle some of the most complex technical projects, delivering high-quality developments where people love to live.
