The new 360,000-square-foot development in the City is designed to foster the firm’s culture of teamwork and high performance. Spanning 17 floors, the office features collaborative workspaces, a fitness center, yoga and spin studios, a high-spec events space, roof terraces and balconies, and a terrace café offering panoramic city views.

Emphasizing sustainability, the building includes over 500 cycle storage spaces and a dedicated ‘active commuter’ entrance. The design adheres to the highest environmental standards, incorporating sustainable fit-out practices such as zero waste to landfill, efficient energy and water use, and engagement with suppliers on environmental performance.

The move also paves the way for redevelopment at the former One Silk Street location. Plans have been submitted to replace the existing 1980s office complex with two 20-story towers, offering 91,000 square meters of commercial space and 2,200 square meters for retail and community use. The project aims to enhance the local streetscape and increase site biodiversity by over 350%. Demolition is expected to take a year, with full development targeted for completion in 2032.
