Landsec has let the fourth floor of its net-zero office development in Southwark to Carbon Clean.
The carbon capture firm, which provides solutions for industrial companies, has taken 9,400 sq ft at the Forge, SE1. The space will be the company’s new headquarters and will accommodate its growing team.
The Piercy & Co and Bryden Wood designed scheme was opened in April and is part of Landsec’s 1m sq ft pipeline of green offices in Southwark, including Timber Square, Liberty of Southwark and Red Lion Court.
The Forge is adjacent to Tate Modern and offers 140,000 sq ft of office space across two buildings, Bronze and Phosphor. It is the UK’s first commercial development to have been designed in line with the UK Green Building Council’s definition of a net-zero building.
The site is also home to Landsec’s flexible office brand, Myo, which will occupy the entirety of the Phosphor building and will offer 48,000 sq ft of flexible office space. It will also provide meeting rooms and event spaces, with private offices from 10 desks up to whole floors for teams of more than 50 available on flexible leases.
Myo Bankside will open later this year and the Bronze building is free for traditional leasing.
Oliver Knight, head of workplace at Landsec, said: “Southwark is a growing market, supported by exceptional transport connections, culture and a world-leading dining scene. The demand for space is competitive, and as businesses look to meet their ESG targets, truly sustainable and quality spaces will outperform. The Forge, along with our wider pipeline of green office space in Bankside, is well placed to respond to market trends and capitalise on the continued flight to prime.”
Aniruddha Sharma, chair and chief executive of Carbon Clean, said: “Given Carbon Clean’s commitment to achieving industrial decarbonisation and a net-zero future, we are delighted to find a new headquarters that aligns with our mission.
“Carbon Clean has doubled in size in the past year and we were looking for premises that could accommodate our ongoing growth and provide a high-quality environment for our staff, partners and customers. London is a global centre for climate technology and services, and we are looking forward to continuing to lead in carbon capture from our new home in the Forge.”
The leasing agents are CBRE and Union Street Partners.
