What Our Clients Say
"We are delighted with the way the Design Team have successfully transformed a tired, outdated building into a modern, prime workplace which hides behind the two historic facades and the overhauled Agar Street frontage. The design and delivery of the building has given Legal & General a fantastic product to let and they are very proud of its addition to their portfolio."
