UKREiiF 2025 took place in Leeds in May 2025, continuing to position the event as a major platform for real estate investment and infrastructure with thousands of attendees and a broad fringe programme. This edition emphasized housing, data centers, and regional growth, especially in the North and Midlands, as key themes.[1][3][4]
Reported outcomes and reflections from 2025 highlight ongoing discussions about public sector reform, project viability, and the need for sustained devolution-style support to unlock pipeline and deliver deals. Stakeholders also noted the importance of aligning private sector capital with public sector programmes to accelerate housing and infrastructure delivery.[7]
