Known for its thriving economy and dynamic business community, Reading is consistently ranked as one of the United Kingdom’s top business locations.

Established in 1936 as a small architectural practice, our Reading office has grown to over 100 planners and designers. Here we handle a diverse array of projects, including residential, mixed-use, retail, strategic land, and commercial ventures of all sizes and types, with a focus on regeneration and placemaking opportunities. Our strong passion and collaborative culture make Stantec a fantastic workplace, ensuring that our efforts in the built environment, transport, and infrastructure drive meaningful change.

Reading is a city that takes pride in its cultural heritage, and we take pride in our city. From playing a key role in securing an investment to revitalise the beloved Hexagon Theatre into a multi-function community hub, to helping develop Reading FC’s new training academy at Bearwood Park, we’re committed to preserving and enhancing Reading and its surroundings. We also worked on the development of Cine Valley, a new television and film studio complex at Thames Valley Science Park, which will transform the local area, creating new jobs and opportunities, and place the Thames Valley at the forefront of the UK's film and television industry.
