Thank you Paul Norman and CoStar News for covering One Basinghall Avenue where we are spearheading the project to modernise and upgrade the building, reflecting the evolving demands of the post-pandemic workplace. The extension of the lease with Standard Chartered Bank and their decision at a later date to commit to even further space, signals a broader trend among businesses reassessing their office needs post-pandemic, shifting from initial reductions to an emphasis on collaborative, high-quality workspaces.

Our Senior Development Manager, Head of ESG Amber Luscombe, launched Oxygen's seminar series with a thought-provoking panel discussion on "Cradle to Cradle: Redefining Sustainability in Offices". Bringing together industry leaders across the sector to challenge traditional approaches to construction and design, by exploring perspectives on sustainability. The panel included Adam Strudwick, Principal of Perkins&Will Architects; Nicola Forest, Senior Sustainability Manager for The Crown Estate; Nikhil Dhumma, EMEA CRE Design and Programme Director at JLL and Steve Wright, Global Director of Design and Change Management at GSK. The panel delved into the critical role of Facilities Management in creating sustainable building lifecycles and highlighted the urgent need to move beyond our current obsession with 'new' materials.  Scaling circular economy and cradle-to-cradle thinking will require genuine effort, time and money to get to where we need to be, which is to significantly reduce the waste our construction sites in the UK produce. That is why we brought together a panel of people who, together, are pushing the agenda, rather than waiting for people to tell them why it won’t work, inspiring us with multiple lived experiences, inspiration and ideas, that we can all take away to implement on our own projects and in our own companies. The full article provides deep insights into the outcomes of the discussion. Read here: https://lnkd.in/eSTbWCtj #Sustainabilitypanel  #oxygenassetmanagement #cradletocradle

Co-founders Aston Woodward and Mike Harris recently shared their journey spotting opportunities beyond conventional boundaries. Reflecting on a pivotal investment decision, they spoke about breaking away from traditional advice to explore Union Street. They also discussed the cultural shift post-2008, when tech and creative sectors sought to distance themselves from finance-heavy zones. Now discovering an acceleration of interest in city fundamentals as businesses and people rediscover the appeal of well-connected, high-quality urban spaces, giving rise to new communities in neighborhoods like Southwark and Shoreditch. #UrbanDevelopment #AssetManagement

We aim to push the sustainability credentials as we work through this asset as well as make it a nicer place to occupy. Will be some interesting lessons learnt as smaller buildings are often harder to reposition.
