What We Do / Office
We advise on office leasing and development, focusing on London and the South-East, including a number of landmark schemes. We work with private equity companies, institutional funds, listed REITs, overseas investors and others to make deals happen and deliver outstanding results.
Our coordinated approach to investment and leasing work is invaluable in advising clients on both new development and the refurbishment of older office buildings. We pride ourselves on successfully making business plans of all kinds a reality.
