A fitting space for an increasingly high-profile business
Hammerson wanted to give their customers, clients, investors and employees an office that better reflected their status. Their current offices were not well located either; the new site had to include easy access to their Paris office and its shopping centres in the north of the UK.
King’s Cross, with its Eurostar trains across the Channel and overland links to the North, was the ideal area. The chosen site, Kings Place, was a newly developed building in one of London’s most exciting and creative regenerations.
Future-focused, Hammerson’s lease also included the flexibility to increase the scale of their operation.
