The UK's premier rail property event since 2000

Rail Stations & Property Summit

Responding to the challenges of increasing passenger
numbers and accommodating population growth

Tuesday 21 February 2017

Radisson Blu Portman Hotel, Portman Square, London W1

Welcome to Rail Stations and Property 2017

With a growing population and economy, demand for both rail travel and housing is at historic highs and continues to rise. 
The Government and authorities want more new homes to be built on railway land to tackle the housing crisis, swelling the ranks of commuters as the rail industry seeks extra capacity at stations.

Can local authorities and mayors, the property industry and the railways work together in the face of these challenges and make homes around rail stations work? 

The Rail Stations and Property Summit 2017 is being convened to find the answers.

• Using railway property to unlock significant residential development

• Explore new models for collaborative delivery

• Examine the barriers to successful high intensity development around rail hubs

• Designing stations for future challenges and current need
