British Land is pleased to announce that JLL has chosen 1 Broadgate for its new UK flagship office. JLL, a global real estate services firm, has signed an agreement for lease for 134,000 sq ft on a 15 year term, representing a pre-let of nearly 30% of the office space.
The building comprises 546,000 sq ft of some of the highest quality, most sustainable mixed-use space in London, including 498,000 sq ft of best-in-class workspace, 47,000 sq ft of roof terraces and 48,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space. Enabling works are already underway with demolition due to start May 2021.
JLL’s decision to be based at 1 Broadgate reflects their clear ambitions to be a net zero carbon business and aligns to British Land’s own net zero commitments. This building will be the most energy efficient British Land has ever delivered, targeting a base build operational efficiency of c.55 kWheq per m2 already ahead of the company’s 2030 energy intensity targets for new developments. The building will target a BREEAM Outstanding rating, which has recently been achieved at British Land’s 100 Liverpool Street. 1 Broadgate will target the WELL Platinum rating for wellbeing to achieve industry leading standards for air quality, water and light, and will be designed to support employee engagement and productivity. It will also be SMART enabled to analyse and optimise operational performance.
JLL will move into the flagship location following completion of 1 Broadgate in 2025. The new office will cover three floors and have its own dedicated entrance. The move demonstrates JLL’s conviction that modern, high quality and sustainable office space has an important role to play in promoting innovation, collaboration, training and culture.
