Initially conceived as a business park, it now also encompasses a residential development of more than 1,300 new homes, including apartment blocks and "New-England" style houses.

The Madejski Stadium, home of Reading Football Club, adjoins Green Park to the east.

Green Park is bounded by the M4 motorway to the south, the Madejski Stadium and the A33 road to the east, the floodplain of the River Kennet to the north, and the Reading to Basingstoke railway line to the west.

It is currently owned by Mapletree and covers 195 acres (79 ha) and comprises 19 office buildings arranged around the Longwater, a central lake and wildlife habitat.

When fully complete the village is expected to contain more than 1,300 new homes, including both apartments and "New-England" style houses surrounding South Lake.

There is also a Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing Centre, a waterside brasserie called Zest at Lime Square, an Asda Click & Collect, and a WH Smith store.
