British Land opens Broadgate Central

Broadgate Central spans 120,000 sq ft across the ground and lower ground floors of 1 Broadgate and 100 Liverpool Street, linking Liverpool Street station to Finsbury Avenue Square. 

The location, which is 90% let, will host fashion brands including Moss, Mango, Luca Faloni, Hobbs and Whistles, as well as beauty and lifestyle retailers including Boots Fragrance, Space NK and Molton Brown. 

British Land head of retail estate and investment Kelly Cleveland said: “Broadgate Central redefines the City’s retail and leisure scene, bringing together leading brands in a vibrant, accessible destination.

“The strong leasing momentum across the campus, with only one floor of office space available, increasing footfall throughout the whole week, and office utilisation back above pre-Covid levels mid-week, reflects the benefits of our campus model and Broadgate’s enduring appeal.”

Chair of the City of London corporation planning and transportation committee Tom Sleigh said: “Major employers and brands are reinforcing their commitment to the City of London as the destination of choice, in part, thanks to the outstanding public realm, retail and hospitality offer that developments like Broadgate Central are delivering. This is why we have seen a 7% rise in footfall into the City this financial year and are expecting further increases in the years to come.

“The City of London is more than just a business district, it’s a destination, offering world-class hospitality, culture, leisure and amenities designed for how people live, work and connect in the 21st century. With its abundance of green spaces, net zero ambitions and low-carbon developments, the City is sustainable and focused on wellbeing at its core.”
