Landsec has secured a letting of more than 65,000 sq ft at Nova North, SW1, to SNC-Lavalin and its Atkins and Faithful+Gould businesses on a 12-year lease.
The design, engineering and project management consultancy will occupy the third, fourth and fifth floors of Nova North, meaning the building is now fully let.
SNC-Lavalin will sit alongside companies including Child & Child, BlueCrest and LEO.
The move supports SNC-Lavalin’s plans for growth in the UK market and continues its strong presence for its London client base.
An international business with approximately 8,500 staff, it is one of the largest Canadian employers in the UK.
Matthew Flood, commercial director, London portfolio at Landsec, said: “We are really excited to welcome SNC-Lavalin to Nova, Victoria.
“By offering world-class office space alongside top-quality bars, restaurants and food outlets, we’ve been able to create an exciting area for both work and leisure which has resonated with a great range of businesses.”
Philip Hoare, chief executive of SNC-Lavalin UK & Europe, added: “Having been based in North London up until now, we are very excited to be moving south to Victoria.
Alongside Nova North and Nova South lies Nova Food, a development of 17 restaurants, including Hai Cenato and Rail House Café, three pop-up kiosks and two acres of public realm.
Landsec continues to refine and develop plans for the next phase at Nova, which has planning permission for a 196,000 sq ft mixed-use development.
Landsec was represented by Cushman & Wakefield and Knight Frank; SNC-Lavalin was represented by LSH.
