Collaborative Strategy for a Landmark Regeneration
The redevelopment of King’s Cross has reimagined one of London’s most historic districts into a vibrant, mixed-use destination where commerce, culture and community coexist. Spanning 67 acres, the project brought together leading architects, developers and consultants to deliver a new model for urban regeneration that balances growth with authenticity.
Darsey Advisory played a strategic role in the commercial and placemaking phase of the development, working alongside a consortium of partners and multiple specialist consultancies. Our contribution centred on the evolution of the area’s mixed-use offering, developing insights that informed tenant mix, visitor flow and retail positioning across new and refurbished zones.
Through in-depth analysis of customer behaviour and demographic trends, we helped identify the right density and diversity of businesses to sustain daily activity and long-term appeal. Our work also supported coordinated marketing and activation strategies that enhanced resident engagement and visitor experience, ensuring commercial viability aligned with community value.
The result is an ongoing success story: a district that continues to attract international businesses, cultural institutions and visitors alike. The King’s Cross transformation demonstrates how data-driven insight, strategic foresight and cross-disciplinary collaboration can shape lasting, liveable growth in a complex urban environment.
Riyadh Air
Partnering during the airline’s formation phase, we contributed to market entry strategy, customer proposition design and competitive positioning. Our work helped set the foundation for the brand’s ambition to redefine air travel across the Gulf and establish itself as a global player from day one.

Defining Market Entry for a Global Aviation Vision
Announced in 2023 as part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative, Riyadh Air was conceived to propel the Kingdom into a new era of global connectivity. Designed to serve more than 100 destinations by 2030, this national carrier’s purpose extends beyond aviation. It represents a cornerstone in Saudi Arabia’s economic diversification and transformation strategy.
Darsey Advisory collaborated with a group of international partners, including aviation, digital and brand specialists, to support Riyadh Air’s market entry and strategic positioning during its early formation phase. Our team provided commercial and strategic insight to define the airline’s customer proposition, focusing on differentiation in a region already dominated by established Gulf carriers.
Our work involved mapping potential demand patterns, competitive whitespace and traveller behaviours across key corridors between Europe, Asia and Africa. By combining this analysis with global benchmarking data, we designed a strategy to help Riyadh Air establish a distinctive identity anchored in experience, accessibility and technology. This approach directly informed marketing priorities and partnership frameworks that reinforced the airline’s ambition to be both globally competitive and locally resonant.
Through close coordination with digital transformation consultants and brand developers, we ensured that strategic goals translated into practical foundations from customer journey design to operational alignment. The resulting direction positioned Riyadh Air as an emblem of progress for a nation reimagining its place in international travel.

Shaping the Commercial Heart of an Iconic London Landmark
The Battersea Power Station redevelopment stands as one of London’s most ambitious regeneration projects, transforming a disused industrial site into a thriving mixed-use riverside community. The £9 billion scheme spans 42 acres and combines residential, commercial, retail and cultural spaces that have redefined the capital’s South Bank.
Darsey Advisory worked with development and architectural partners to refine commercial strategy during the project’s activation phase, ensuring that the landmark’s renewed purpose extended beyond its architectural revival. Drawing on insight into visitor movement, retail potential and brand integration, we helped shape a consumer experience that aligns commercial performance with cultural appeal.
Our role focused on developing a tenant mix strategy that maximised both destination quality and long-term financial sustainability. We analysed visitor data and engagement patterns to inform leasing priorities and zone design, balancing global brands with independent retailers to support ongoing vitality across the site. Working closely with design and management teams, we contributed to the integration of food, retail and leisure experiences that give Battersea its distinctive identity and rhythm of activity.
Today, Battersea Power Station has become more than a symbol of restoration; it is a vibrant community hub that attracts millions annually. The project demonstrates how strategic advisory, grounded in real customer insight, can help transform an architectural landmark into a living commercial ecosystem with enduring social and economic impact.
Each of these projects exemplifies what defines Darsey Advisory: bold thinking, disciplined strategy and results that endure.
