MIPIM 2025 reaffirmed its value as a key forum for strategic collaboration, forward-thinking discussion and commercial insight – not just for Centrick, but for the wider residential property market.
Here’s a concise breakdown of why our presence at MIPIM continues to be a purposeful investment, and the trends we’re taking away to inform our approach for the year ahead.
Why MIPIM Matters to Centrick
MIPIM isn’t simply about presence – it’s about influence. The event enables Centrick to engage directly with developers, investors, policymakers, and industry peers, aligning ourselves with the conversations and decision-makers shaping the future of the property landscape.
In a market facing continued political, economic, and environmental shifts, it’s critical we stay ahead. MIPIM provides early access to emerging investment trends, legislative direction, and partnership opportunities – ensuring we continue to deliver commercially smart, customer-focused solutions across our services.
Key Market Themes from MIPIM 2025
1. Confidence in the UK Market
Despite global headwinds, the UK was positioned as a stable and investable market. Political messaging focused on growth, underpinned by long-term regeneration and housing strategies – providing welcome reassurance to both domestic and international investors.
2. Levelling Up Through Regeneration
New regional developments, including major infrastructure investments like the announcement of a new football stadium, signalled a clear shift in focus beyond London. These projects present fresh opportunities to meet housing demand and stimulate economic growth in key cities.
3. ESG as a Non-Negotiable
Sustainability was front and centre. Decarbonisation, net zero pathways, and climate resilience are now embedded into investment criteria – not as aspirations, but expectations. For Centrick, this reinforces the importance of aligning our service delivery with evolving ESG frameworks.
4. Technology Driving Value
AI and digital transformation are no longer future considerations – they are current priorities. Innovations in property management tech are improving operational efficiency, tenant satisfaction, and long-term asset value. We’re already embedding this thinking into our strategies for clients.
5. Public–Private Collaboration is Key
Unlocking large-scale housing delivery will depend on deeper alignment between public and private sectors. The need for more agile policy-making, clearer planning frameworks, and long-term partnerships was a recurring theme across multiple panels.
6. Tackling Affordability with Innovation
The affordability crisis remains a pressing issue. Discussions highlighted new financial models, tenure diversity, and policy reform as essential levers to deliver more inclusive, accessible housing. For us, this reaffirms the role of creative thinking in delivering better outcomes.
The UK Hub: A Stronger Voice on the Global Stage
The expanded presence of the UK Pavilion gave regional leaders and businesses a louder, more unified voice at this year’s MIPIM. It amplified the strength of UK cities, reinforced investor interest, and provided a focused space to showcase opportunities and form meaningful partnerships.
