Refurbishment Boom in London: A Sustainable Shift in Office Spaces

According to The Times, 83% of new office space underway in London during the first half of 2025 is refurbishment rather than new builds. This trend is driven by rising prime office rents, the desire for high-quality, eco-friendly workspaces, and faster refurbishment timelines compared to new construction.

Financial services firms lead the demand for these sustainable office environments, prioritizing refurbishment to reduce environmental impact and cost. Meanwhile, increased construction and financing costs are making ground-up developments less attractive.

So, how can leasing support this shift?

By leveraging leasing, companies can access modern, eco-friendly spaces that align with their sustainability goals while managing cash flow effectively.
