Oxford University Development

Creating places for people and progress

OUD brings together University land with investment and delivery expertise to shape sustainable places for Oxford’s future.

Our developments create the conditions for progress – places where people, ideas and opportunity come together.

We’re building workspaces and labs that connect academia and industry, fuelling groundbreaking research and discovery. Homes and neighbourhoods with a mix of tenures and price points that help attract talent and provide affordable homes for local people. And green, nature-rich environments that bring people closer to each other and to the natural world.

Every project is guided by a clear path to net zero and a long-term commitment to strengthen Oxford for generations to come.

Oxford University Development is a joint venture between the University of Oxford and L&G.

We combine the University’s land, vision and research strength with L&G’s investment capability and development expertise.

Working closely with local councils and partners, we take a long-term approach – creating places that support innovation, strengthen communities and contribute to a resilient economy – locally, regionally and nationally.
