Landsec agrees final office letting at Nova in Victoria

Property giant Landsec got an early Christmas present on Tuesday, as it landed a tenant for the final bit of remaining office space at its huge Nova development in Victoria.

Nord Anglia Education, which operates 56 international schools across the globe, has signed a 10-year lease for 10,000 square feet it will use for its new headquarters.

The deal at the Nova South building means the total development, comprising some 480,000 square feet across two properties, is fully-let for the first time since construction completed in April 2017.

The latest letting will be welcome against a backdrop of Brexit-induced jitters in the commercial property market, as some businesses freeze or scrap office moves until there is more political certainty in Britain.

Matt Flood, commercial director at Landsec, said: “It’s fantastic to see Victoria established both as a hub for world-class businesses and a thriving community for people to live, work and socialise.”

Property agents Knight Frank, Cushman & Wakefield and Morgan Pryce advised.
