Property and Buildings

We have delivered tens of millions of square meters of office space for investors, developers and occupiers around the world. Our work is focused on office and mixed-use buildings and includes everything from new build and refurbishment projects to high-rise developments and business parks.

Organizations in the arts and heritage sectors are often intimately associated with the spaces they occupy – a great building reinforces a brand, puts an organization on the map, welcomes a broader audience and keeps them coming back time and again. Creating places that will inspire, educate and entertain increasingly sophisticated generations of visitors is no mean feat, especially with ever-greater competition for their attention and leisure time.

When working with educational institutions our teams strive to create stimulating, collaborative, and safe learning environments that foster the critical thinkers of the future. Our projects span the entire education sector, from nurseries, primary and secondary schools to colleges and some of the world’s most prestigious universities.

At WSP, we understand the many challenges involved in public sector development and use our in-depth knowledge of local social, political, and economic conditions to deliver sustainable projects that meet local needs.

We provide healthcare engineering services and deliver first-class hospitals that optimize patient comfort and operational efficiency.

For more than a century WSP has been helping to shape the skyline of cities throughout the world. We are leaders in the design of tall buildings, pioneering the trend to build higher and slimmer to optimize valuable real estate in our dense urban environments.

WSP knows hospitality. Over the past few decades, our experts have delivered more than 500 projects across 80 countries, building in-depth experience across all parts of this global industry, from refurbishing heritage hotels to designing vast entertainment complexes, from budget conscious facilities to luxury resorts.

Mission critical facilities require highly resilient infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted critical services that enable business, operations, and systems to function efficiently, effectively, and above all continuously. 

A number of tendencies are changing the residential sector. A combination of demographic and social trends are causing household sizes to shrink. In many large cities across the world, there is shortage of available land for building residential space while the pressure of urbanization and increased population upsurge the demand for property in urban centres.

Retail is important. Not only for the economy, but also for the health of towns and cities on every continent. In Europe, retail accounts for more than a quarter of all commercial real estate. However, going to a physical shop is no longer the only way to acquire the things we want. The growth of online shopping has already transformed the world’s largest retail markets, and will continue to do so, but commercial centres still have a vital role to play as we move towards an "experience economy".

Sports venues should bring communities together, fostering local identity and pride. Sports arenas have the power to light up a city’s skyline, put a region on the map, and bring together all parts of a diverse community. Getting people into pools and onto running tracks, they quite literally boost the health and vitality of a neighbourhood. But juggling local needs and sensitivities with the intense pressures of the international sports world can be a challenge.

We understand the challenges that our clients are facing in the fast-paced telecommunications industry and provide tailored engineering solutions that meet even the most demanding clients’ needs.
