Landsec has pre-let 40,000 sq ft of office space at n2 to Qube Research & Technologies (QRT).
The international investment firm is upsizing from its current 12,000 sq ft office in Nova South to take four floors across n2.
n2 is the penultimate phase of the Nova masterplan and will provide 161,000 sq ft of office space across 17 floors.
Each floor has access to outdoor space and a communal clubroom and terrace available to all occupiers on level 15, n2 has been designed to promote employee wellbeing, productivity and collaborative working.
Oliver Knight, Head of Offices at Landsec said: “Demand for best-in-class office space in central London locations like Victoria remains resilient. The market has evolved in the last 18 months, with businesses focused on creating sustainable and engaging spaces for their employees to come together.
“The strength of our portfolio across central London means that we’re able to provide different types of space for every stage in a business’ journey, working in partnership to meet their evolving needs for the future of work no matter their shape nor size. Nova has long been an attractive destination for leading businesses, and we’re delighted to grow QRT from their home in Nova South into n2 once the building completes next summer.”
Stuart Brown, Chief Operating Officer at QRT commented: “Our staff are critical to the success of QRT, so establishing a high-quality office allows us to continue a highly collaborative culture and to attract and retain the best talent. Victoria has been our home since 2018 so staying within the area was a priority for us. Partnering with Landsec has meant that we were able to expand our workspace to support a period of extensive growth for QRT, without compromising on location or quality.”
Landsec was advised by Cushman & Wakefield and Knight Frank. QRT was advised by Crossland Otter Hunt.
n2 is expected to top out later this month ahead of completion in Summer 2023.
