North Ranga is a multi-disciplined property development company providing innovative property development solutions to power intensive occupiers in Iceland and Data Centre occupiers across continental Europe.
The company is a joint venture between West Ranga Property Group and North Ventures.

Environmental, Sustainability and Governance (ESG)
With cutting-edge technological knowledge and progressive innovative design, North Ranga are market leaders in building sustainability.
All developments undertaken by the company are fully decarbonised and adopt optimal renewable technologies ( ASHP, GSHP, WSHP, Underfloor Heating, Solar PV, Rainwater Harvesting, Wind Turbines).
Whether developing directly, or on behalf of one of our partners, North Ranga calculate the embodied carbon within in the construction process and tailor design and material procurement to offset and reach a carbon neutral position.
Embodied carbon is only one half of the equation. Building utility and operational carbon targets over the lifecycle of the property play a vital role in achieving sustainability goals.
In this regard, Iceland provides a unique solution to occupiers by offering 100% renewable carbon neutral power.
Whilst some occupiers are still concerned with deviation from existing technologies, the majority now see the ESG benefits of an efficient sustainable operation.
Project Delivery and Development Track Record
With an occupier-led focus, North Ranga are market leaders at delivering technically challenging large-scale Design & Build property solutions.
Our understanding of occupier requirements and aspirations fundamentally shapes our project planning process, facilitating best value for the development without compromising quality or project timescales.
Extensive technical experience and real estate knowledge allows North Ranga to fully assess and evaluate every stage of the development cycle.
Accordingly, we are uniquely placed to value engineer every part of the development cycle in order to deliver best value to the occupier.
We are delighted to pass on any savings to the occupier determined via an open-book and transparent valuation approach agreed at the outset of the project.
North Ranga are trusted by a range of multi-national corporate occupiers to provide bespoke development solutions for their European real estate requirements.
The Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) agenda will continue to dominate decision-making in the years ahead.
With cutting-edge technological knowledge and progressive innovative design, North Ranga are market leaders in operational building sustainability.
