Introducing Emma Cariaga: Joint Head of Canada Water & Head of Residential British Land
On this episode, Caroline Donaghue and Priya Rawal welcome Emma Cariaga, a powerhouse woman of the UK property industry and Head of Residential at British Land and Joint Head of the £5.6 billion Canada Water master plan project.
The eldest in a single parent family, Emma was inspired to be strong, independent, hardworking after seeing her mother work long hours as an interior designer. Unbeknownst to her at the time, this would later become the introduction into the design side of the property industry. She went on to study a degree in town planning at UCL and was invited to work at Crest Nicholson & Barratt Development plc in her third year at university, joining the team and she went on to become the youngest Director at Barratt.
After 10 years, Emma set her sights on working on bigger developments that created places multi-purposes buildings. In 2007, she joined Land Securities (now Landsec) where she delivered a number of Central London developments including Wellington House, Kings Gate and the Zig Zag building in Victoria before transitioning to British Land. Emma is currently Head of Residential at British Land and joint Head of Operations at Canada Water, a project that will deliver a new urban centre for London comprising of workspaces, retail/leisure/culture businesses and residential alongside higher educational and community uses.
