The Crown Estate developments

Dating back more than 260 years, The Crown Estate is a unique business with a diverse portfolio that stretches across the country.

It includes some of London’s best places to work, shop and experience, regional retail and leisure destinations, and a substantial rural portfolio.

We manage the seabed and half the foreshore around England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and play a fundamental role in the sustainable development of this national asset, including the UK’s world-leading offshore wind sector.

We are also custodians of the Windsor Estate, including the world‑renowned Windsor Great Park.

Established by an Act of Parliament, we are tasked with generating profit for the Treasury for the benefit of the nation’s finances. This has totalled £3bn over the last ten years.
