U+I has secured a leasing deal with the game development studio behind Assassin’s Creed at its Circus Street site in Brighton.
Electric Square, which is also involved in brands including Need for Speed, Battlefield and Forza, has signed for two floors in The Office as part of its expansion strategy.
The studio has committed to a 10-year lease at the workspace, which measures 30,000 sq ft. It joins Hyve Managed Hosting, which has occupied the top two floors since it moved in last year. Other tenants include the University of Brighton’s Art College, the Dance Space; White Cloud Coffee; and Japanese restaurant Fumi, set to open soon.
Two floors remain vacant at The Office, totalling 10,300 sq ft.
Nathan Gouveia, studio head at Electric Square Brighton, said: “We chose The Office at Circus Street because it’s a stunning, modern building based in an exciting new part of the city, surrounded by the buzz of creative organisations, matching our bold ambitions for Electric Square to be the global leader in AAA console game development.”
Rob Sloper, development director at U+I, said: “The addition of Electric Square at our Circus Street development in Brighton once again underlines Brighton’s place as a global city that attracts world class talent. We always imagined Circus Street would become a new digital and creative hub, and we are happy to see this vision realised, with two outstanding industry leaders choosing Circus Street due to its location, award winning design and highly sustainable specification.”
Circus Street was delivered by U+I in a £130m public-private partnership with Brighton & Hove Council.
