Broadgate

What Broadgate does

Broadgate is a 32-acre traffic-free commercial campus in the City of London, sited directly adjacent to Liverpool Street station and operated under a UK REIT structure (Broadgate REIT Limited) jointly owned by British Land Company PLC and GIC, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund. The campus integrates twelve-plus office buildings, 335,000 sq ft of retail and hospitality, a 1.5-acre public park (Exchange Square), event spaces and parking, with primary revenue generated through commercial rent from enterprise occupiers in financial services, legal, technology and media, supplemented by retail unit leases and parking tariffs.

The product offering is segmented into three workspace tiers — Core (blank-canvas, tenant-fit-out buildings targeting global HQs), Work Ready (fitted, furnished, connected offices for fast move-in) and Storey (fully-managed flexible space with shared amenities) — supported by a smart-building platform delivering energy performance and operational analytics, and the My Broadgate digital concierge app for access passes, meeting-room booking, guest invitations, click & collect, event tickets and a building helpdesk. Over 2.3 million sq ft of lettable space carries BREEAM Outstanding or Excellent certification, with 100% renewable energy and Platinum/Gold WiredScore connectivity on key assets.

Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales via a British Land specialist team, supported by website enquiry forms, an on-site sales office, and curated events; pricing for office and retail is quote-based while parking is publicly tariffed. The 32-acre campus generates 29 million annual visits (forecast 36 million by 2026) underpinning a £450 million annual retail spend opportunity, and has attracted tenant logos including SMBC, Stripe, Monzo, Herbert Smith Freehills, Citadel, Citadel Securities, McCann Worldgroup, Allianz Global Investors, Akin Gump, Marex, JLL and A&O Shearman. The business is mid-way through a £1.5 billion investment programme that includes the 2 Finsbury Avenue joint venture (with Modon Holding, signed January 2025), the £100m Broadgate Tower repositioning (announced March 2025, completing late 2026) and the recent opening of the Broadgate Central retail destination.
