Event Host
The Gilbert
The Gilbert on Finsbury Square has been transformed into a versatile work and social hub, celebrating its original 20th-century design while creating modern environments that blend work and lifestyle. The building honours its historical character and introduces sustainable architecture with natural daylight, external spaces, and a focus on environmental responsibility. Developed alongside One Lackington, these spaces embrace the eccentricities of their original designs by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, known for landmarks like the Tate Modern and Battersea Power Station. Situated near Moorgate and Liverpool Street Stations, the buildings benefited from a major refurbishment in 2021, retaining 90% of the original structure and achieving Net Zero carbon in construction. The project, now featuring six terraces and one courtyard, was updated by Stiff + Trevillion Architects.

Why You Can't Miss this Conference
Why this Matters: According to Deloitte's London Office Crane Survey, a record 5.1 million square feet of new construction starts were reported as of November 2023 — a record for London. With 124 schemes under construction across central London, this new development doesn't even include the amount of retrofitting underway to revive older office buildings for newer tenants. Despite difficulties with bringing employees back to the office full-time, London's office owners, developers, brokers and investors are bullish on the sector and its subsequent rebound.
Join us to hear about the important discussions occurring between tenants and their reps, and how consumer demands are shaping London's office market for the better.
What You'll Learn:
- Tenant preferences have changed, with the office being more of a service than just a raw space. What are occupiers looking for, and how does this impact leasing and property management
- What are the different considerations - layout, design, etc - for renewing a tenant versus a new tenant?
- How is the market innovating flexible office spaces in today’s competitive market?
- As technology progresses, there’s no way to predict what will upgrade or go obsolete. What steps should one take to future-proof their assets?
- Are the fundamentals of flexible working strong enough for it to be deemed resilient in the current market?
Who You'll Meet: London's top tenants, tenant reps, office owners and providers building new or refurbishing older office spaces.
