REDBOOK UNVEILS THE SECOND EDITION OF THE REDBOOK INDEX (RBi)
This Autumn, RedBook revealed the second edition of The RedBook Index (RBi) at an exclusive launch event hosted within the Goldman Sachs London Auditorium.
Building on the first RBi, released in 2024, the second edition combines RedBook’s own data with industry-wide insights, cementing its status as the go-to reference for the property, design, interior, and construction sectors.
Established as a comprehensive guide to the luxury property project landscape, the RBi provides a practical tool and reference guide for professionals and clients, with live data on costs, planning insights, design trends, and more.
This year’s report is benchmarked against the first edition to track industry trends, performance, and overall market health. RedBook analysed over 350,000 data points this year—a 250% increase from the previous edition—from a dataset of 2,800 projects (up from 1,750 in 2024). Over 7,000 residential planning applications in prime UK locations were assessed, a 17% increase year-on-year, with the total value of prime projects considered for the report totalling over £14 billion in value.
The launch, held on 22nd October at the Goldman Sachs Auditorium in London, was attended by over 350 industry leaders, including private family offices, estate agents, and wealth managers, along with key figures from the design and architecture world, and private clients.
Tom Adams, Owner and CEO at RedBook comments: “The RedBook Index (RBi) gives clients and professionals the insights they need to plan luxury projects with confidence, estimating costs and timelines accurately whilst reducing risk. The objective is to create a market-leading guide on the current landscape that is an invaluable tool that leverages insight from the best in the industry to shape the present and the future of luxury design.
“The second edition of the RBi goes further by analysing 2,800 live high-end projects, tracking high-net-worth individuals’ design preferences and budget priorities, and providing oversight of the planning landscape by reviewing the performance of prime boroughs and counties across the UK.”
