Leeds has been confirmed as the host city for UKREiiF 2026, marking the fifth consecutive year the city will welcome the UK’s leading Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum.
UKREiiF – which launched in 2022 – has rapidly grown into a major fixture on the national property and regeneration calendar, attracting global investors, developers, housebuilders, local authorities and policy makers. The 2025 event is set to attract 16,000 delegates and inject over £20 million into the Leeds economy through visitor spending, hospitality and local procurement.
Nathan Spencer, Managing Director of UKREiiF, said the decision to remain in Leeds was driven by the forum’s continued growth and the city’s ongoing support: “Our commitment goes beyond simply hosting an event. We aim to leave a lasting impact on the city, its communities, and the wider industry. The collaboration with Leeds City Council, the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and our venue partners including the Royal Armouries has been exceptional — and we’re excited to announce further expansion plans for 2026 soon.”
UKREiiF has become a catalyst for showcasing UK regions to international investors, offering a platform for cities and regions to present major development opportunities and policy direction.
Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire, hailed the event’s return as a continued vote of confidence in the region “It’s fantastic that UKREiiF will return to Leeds for a fifth year in 2026. This forum has helped us boost our economy, champion investment, and put more money in people’s pockets. 2025 is a major year for West Yorkshire as we drive forward our multibillion-pound growth plan.”
