Landsec has let over 65,000 sq. ft. to SNC-Lavalin, and its Atkins and Faithful+Gould businesses, on a 12-year lease at Nova North. The design, engineering and project management consultancy will occupy the entire third, fourth and fifth floors of Nova North, meaning the building is now fully let.
SNC-Lavalin will join Child & Child, BlueCrest and LEO. The move supports SNC-Lavalin’s plans for growth in the UK market and continues its strong presence for its London client base. An international business with approximately 8,500 staff, they are one of the largest Canadian employers in the UK.
Matthew Flood, Commercial Director, London Portfolio at Landsec said: “We are really excited to welcome SNC-Lavalin to Nova, Victoria. By offering world-class office space alongside top-quality bars, restaurants and food outlets, we’ve been able to create an exciting area for both work and leisure which has resonated with a great range of businesses.”
Philip Hoare, Chief Executive of SNC-Lavalin UK & Europe, added: “Having been based in North London up until now, we are very excited to be moving south to Victoria. Nova, Victoria offers a huge amount for our staff – from wide-ranging food outlets to green space, in addition to unrivalled office space. We are confident that moving here will help our business to continue to thrive.”
Landsec continues to refine and develop plans for the next phase of development at the Nova site, where they have planning permission for a 196,000 sq ft mixed use development.
