We are Knight Dragon – a team of experienced and creative developers, marketeers, planners, and financiers, creating new places and setting new standards for urban living. Regeneration is about more than bricks and mortar. We harness the power of culture, art and design to build socially and economically sustainable communities. We’re investing £8.4 billion into Greenwich Peninsula, a blank canvas twice the size of Soho. Emerging as the capital’s most boldly modern landscape, the Peninsula will have 15,000 new homes, 13,000 new jobs and 7 diverse new neighbourhoods. With a leading-edge digital media University Ravensbourne, a new Design District opening in 2021, and an elevated garden walkway, this is a celebration of new creative energy and ideas, all enveloped by the iconic Thames. Backed by Dr Henry Cheng, Chairman of New World Developments and CTF, we have the long-term vision and financial backing to ensure the project success. Dr Cheng and the wider Cheng family have substantial interests in property and infrastructure in Hong Kong and China. These include the majority interest in one of Asia’s leading developers, New World Development, which has a market capitalisation of $4.6 billion.
