The 2012 Olympics left a great legacy for the capital and there's more to come

摘要

As the UK celebrates Team GB's phenomenal success at this year's Olympics, CBRE has been considering the legacy of London's 2012 Games, and reflecting on some of the fundamental changes our capital's property market has witnessed in the years since. London 2012 had an aim to 'inspire a generation' of sports people, but it also wanted to help drive wider regeneration. In our recent Olympic Legacy report, we examined 20 Olympic venues across the UK and found that in most cases price growth in these areas outperformed the wider area by an average of 29%. In London, the Olympics acted as a catalyst for some of the capital's largest regeneration projects. Areas surrounding the two Wembley venues demonstrated house price growth of 99%, while new sites in Stratford saw growth of around 10%. These areas have become established residential destinations, integrating homes, retail and commercial space, public realm and improved transport links to create new neighbourhoods, and are tangible examples of London 2012's lasting impact on the built environment.
