Battersea Power Station

What Battersea Power Station does

Battersea Power Station is a mixed-use real estate development company headquartered in London, operating from within a Grade II* listed 1929 former coal-fired power station on the south bank of the Thames. The operating entity, Battersea Power Station Development Company, is privately held and is controlled by Malaysian publicly listed investors SP Setia and Sime Darby Property, whose executives sit on the board. The development encompasses residential apartments, retail and F&B space, commercial offices, and leisure amenities, all delivered within and around the heritage industrial landmark.

The company's commercial proposition is the sale and long-term management of luxury residential units and the leasing of retail, office, and leisure space within the integrated estate. The customer base is concentrated in high-net-worth individuals and prime London commercial tenants, marketed through brand-led campaigns including the 2025 Apple Christmas activation and supported by external luxury-industry recognition (The Luxury Report 2025 Award). The business model therefore combines property development income (unit sales) with recurring rental income from the operational estate.

The company's operating condition is currently complicated by a May 2025 leadership crisis: the Irish CEO was dismissed and has filed an employment tribunal claim alleging he was fired for raising concerns that internal accounts overvalued undeveloped land by hundreds of millions of pounds. This places the development company under a governance and audit overhang at the same time as it continues to lease space, run consumer-facing marketing campaigns, and pursue luxury-brand positioning.
