The area around King’s Cross is one of London’s real estate success stories, as the fastest growing #office submarket in the capital and only the second fastest in the entire country, with completions up 23% in the last five years. With a rapid increase in office space in concentrated area comes myriad benefits – a growing culture of #innovation and #collaboration, exemplified by the strength of the Knowledge Quarter, and supporting other industries like #retail and #leisure. But with more offices also comes increased competition for space, as multiple best-in-class workspaces come onto the market. Our St Pancras Campus development feeds into and benefits from the thriving working culture of the Knowledge Quarter and King’s Cross. But as a mixed-use development, it offers so much more than offices alone. Designed by award-winning architects Caruso St John Architects Llp, the scheme is a blend of #offices, #homes, and a unique cultural offer wrapped into an architectural marvel. By diversifying the offer of the development, each part of St Pancras Campus supports and improves the others, making the tenant experience better across the board.

Joint developers Ballymore and Hammerson have received final approval from the London Mayor’s office for the first phase of the £1bn Bishops Goodsyard scheme on the fringe of the Square Mile. The 10-acre site, which represents the last major brownfield site around the City, will ultimately be built out in a series of 9 plots. The full plans will provide 500 homes, with 50% affordable, as well as 1.4 million sq ft of workspace, including one of the largest single contributions of affordable workspace of any development in London. The developers have now got clearance to start work on the first cluster of buildings on plot 1 running alongside Shoreditch High Street and Bethnal Green Road where the existing Box Park temporary shopping mall exists. Plot 1 involves construction of a large footprint 18-storey office building overflying the Shoreditch Station box and running along Bethnal Green Road. The developers have also gained reserve matters approval for the restoration of historic buildings on Sclater Street. Designed by Gensler and Buckley Gray Yeoman, the reserved matters approval marks the next stage in the realisation of the approved scheme. Outline construction logistics were drawn up by WSP Transport while Hoare Lea provided energy and sustainability services. Formed as two connected buildings, the scheme will provide 550,000 sq ft of office floorspace and ground-floor retail. [Construction Enquirer] #construction #engineering #bishopsgate #cityoflondon

Broadgate REIT, in tandem with Modon Holding, is set to redefine London's skyline with the recently unveiled 2 Finsbury Avenue project! 🚀 This joint venture promises a landmark development encompassing two iconic high-rise towers connected by a 12-storey podium. Featuring a 7,000 sq ft winter garden and top-tier amenities, this project marks a significant milestone for the Broadgate area. Notably, Sir Robert McAlpine is at the helm of construction, ensuring completion by 2027. With pre-let agreements in place with Citadel and Citadel Securities, securing record rental rates, the demand for premium office space is evident and growing. Sustainability is at the core of this venture. The fully electric, smart-enabled buildings aim to enhance operational energy efficiency. This aligns perfectly with the increasing demand for sustainable office spaces in London. As Simon Carter of British Land remarked, this collaboration underscores confidence in Broadgate and, more broadly, in the City. It's fantastic to witness such forward-thinking developments that promise not just to reshape the skyline but also set new standards for urban development. What are your thoughts on this ambitious project? Let's discuss in the comments! #LondonDevelopment #RealEstate #Sustainability
