Putting People First

Every aspect of WMI has been designed around the needs of the people who work within it and live around it. From new green spaces and cycle paths that promote time outside to improved team welfare through better amenities, it’s a development that goes further in its ambition to do right by the communities it’s a part of.

Access for
everyone

WMI’s 109 acres of Community Parks are open to all employees at the development, as well as the surrounding community. This is an important step in creating an enhanced and enjoyable natural environment that promotes wellbeing for all.

The parkland is also surrounded by a network of dedicated fitness trails that support wellbeing in a more active way by providing easy opportunities to stay active across the entire development.
