Lucent office development by Landsec has topped out.

Set directly behind London’s iconic Piccadilly Lights, the scheme will provide 110,000 sq ft of prime office space, with floor plates seven times larger than the average office currently available in the West End, ranging from 19,000 sq ft to 26,000 sq ft across Lucent’s six floors.

Designed by Fletcher Priest, Lucent will be one of the top 0.09% of the UK’s healthiest buildings, with plans to achieve a Gold WELL accreditation for the scheme.

Lucent will feature 20 outdoor terraces and generous north-facing windows to maximise access to natural light. The building will be home to over 600 plants, including a three-storey-high green wall. The office floors are positioned around a bright central atrium, the focal point of which will be a five-storey tall living tree.

The scheme also offers 30,000 sq ft of ground-floor retail and leisure space.

David Heaford, Managing Director for Development at Landsec commented: “Demand for office space in prime central London locations has proved particularly resilient and continues to strengthen, with customers more focused on quality, sustainability, and employee well-being than ever before. Lucent has been designed with all of this in mind - with features to promote employee health, productivity and flexible ways of working.

“Nature and wellness are at the building’s heart, which, coupled with its unbeatable location, will help future Lucent customers attract and retain talent in what will be a fantastic place to work.”
