AN UNRIVALLED RESOURCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT LANDSCAPE

This Must Be The Place

This Must Be The Place is a unique interdisciplinary Placemaking consultancy made up of property, culture, events and brand specialists. 

We provide uniquely tailored Placemaking services that support innovative developers, landlords, local authorities and BIDs to fulfil their obligations and achieve their ambitions to create and sustain places that people love.

We specialise in Place, Catalyst and Meanwhile strategy - off setting costs and generating revenues for our clients through considered programming, curated partnerships and the commercial management of spaces.

We approach Placemaking from a commercial viewpoint, ensuring that our strategies are grounded in reality, provide tangible opportunities for growth and revenue generation, and meanwhile use transforms into actual leases.

We also curate cultural programmes, create brand platforms and identities, design and facilitate workshops and design charrettes, commission participatory art installations, run community engagements and implement engaging event programmes.

We are working on the U.K’s most exciting regeneration projects from the Silvertown Quays to Mayfield Depot, Canada Water to Meridian Water, Euston Station to Croydon Town Centre, helping our clients to redefine what is possible in the short, mid and long term.
