Emma Cariaga appointed Chief
Operating Officer for British Land
David Lockyer, Head of
Development, to take on additional responsibility for Canada Water,
working alongside Roger Madelin
28 January 2025
British Land announces that Emma
Cariaga has been appointed Chief Operating Officer, succeeding
David Walker who became Chief Financial Officer in November 2024.
Emma was previously Joint Head of Canada Water, a 50:50 joint
venture with AustralianSuper.
In her new role, Emma will manage
British Land's property management, sustainability, digital
placemaking, marketing and communications, and commercial finance
functions. She will also continue to lead the Residential business,
including at Canada Water.
David Lockyer, who as Head of
Development oversees all British Land's development activity, is
taking on additional responsibility for the delivery of the Canada
Water project, working alongside Roger Madelin.
With the completion of the first
phase buildings in 2025, the Canada Water development is becoming
increasingly operational. Aligning Canada Water with the wider
development pipeline provides further opportunities to leverage
expertise from across the broader British Land platform.
David Lockyer joined British Land in
2010 and became Head of Development in 2023. He was previously
responsible for British Land's campus assets, overseeing the
transformation of Broadgate into the best-in-class office campus it
is today.
Simon Carter, CEO at British Land, said:
"I'm pleased to announce Emma
Cariaga as our new Chief Operating Officer. Emma has been
instrumental in driving the Canada Water project to this point and
will bring her extensive operational and leadership experience to
her new role.
"With the first phase buildings
nearing completion, I am delighted that David will be taking on
additional responsibility for the project as part of his role as
Head of Development. As the project becomes more operational, it
will thrive under David and Roger's leadership and benefit from
expertise across British Land."
Canada Water is a 53-acre
development with a highly flexible planning permission. The
development could deliver up to 4,000 homes across a variety of
tenures - including affordable homes, market sale, build to rent,
student accommodation and senior living - as well as up to two
million sq ft of workspace, one million sq ft of retail, F&B,
culture & leisure uses and 12 acres of open space.
