Martin Prince-Parrott

Martin Prince-Parrott is an award-winning architect turned real estate developer, author, and technology founder whose keynote talks sit at the intersection of AI, sustainability, real estate, and cities. A compelling, practical speaker, Martin is best known for delivering over £1 billion of award-winning real estate, including hyperscale data centres and complex urban projects for major institutions. He brings a rare blend of delivery credibility and future-focused insight, helping leaders understand how AI is becoming physical infrastructure, and how that shift will reshape the way people live, work, and invest.

Martin’s journey began in architecture, where he built deep technical skill alongside a strong sense of place and purpose. Formally trained through the Royal Institute of British Architects and the University of Nottingham, he developed a foundation in sustainable design, urban performance, and the realities of delivering projects at scale. Early roles across practice and research helped him connect design decisions to policy, infrastructure, and long-term resilience. Those formative years set the tone for a career defined by execution, clear thinking, and an ability to translate complexity for different audiences, from practitioners and investors to public sector decision-makers.

Over the past 15 years, Martin has led across design, development, and innovation, earning recognition for both delivery and thought leadership. He has managed a £100m+ real estate investment and development portfolio and led high-performance teams responsible for major residential, commercial, cultural, and mission-critical assets. His experience includes senior work with global firms and organisations, and direct exposure to AI’s physical footprint through data-centre delivery, including experience gained working on Microsoft data centres. Today, Martin is the Founder and CEO of ROMULLUS, building the physical foundations for the autonomous economy, and he is also the founder of REINDUSTRIALIZE UK, advocating for a high-tech industrial resurgence. His work has been recognised through honours including Estates Gazette Rising Star and the Property Week Trailblazer Award, alongside multiple project accolades across the built environment. Martin is the author of 'Urban Healthonomics: How to Create Healthy Cities that Accelerate Economic Growth'. The book draws on ten years of large-scale urban delivery alongside research into climate risk, healthcare data, ageing infrastructure and economic resilience.

Organisations hire Martin because he makes the future concrete, commercially relevant, and actionable. He speaks on AI infrastructure and the trillion-dollar build-out, sustainable cities, real estate development and investment, and how autonomous systems will change mobility, land use, energy demand, and urban value creation. A typical audience might include a property conference weighing investment strategy, or a local authority exploring retrofit and resilience, Martin brings real examples, clear frameworks, and an engaging style that keeps people with him.
