Positive Impact – the ANKEN Legacy

At ANKEN, we specialise in transforming neglected buildings into vibrant commercial and mixed-use spaces. Our work breathes new life into forgotten places, turning disrepair into opportunity.

We believe lasting change starts at the local level. Through thoughtful design, sustainable management, and active community involvement, we aim to make a meaningful difference—socially, environmentally, and culturally.

Our approach to urban renewal attracts creative, forward-thinking industries that drive collective impact and contribute to thriving, inclusive neighbourhoods.

We also believe in the power of public art to shape identity and foster placemaking. Our growing collection features a dynamic mix of local and international artists, reflecting the character and energy of the communities we help revitalise.
