We were delighted to welcome CPA members and stakeholders to a winter drinks reception hosted at the stunning new 60 London Wall. 60 London Wall is a newly renovated building with stunning views towards the tower cluster and over Finsbury Circus with over 10 floors totalling to 328,000 square feet. It has been designed with  sustainability at its core and has been awarded a BREEAM ‘outstanding’ rating.

Speakers Miranda Monro (LaSalle Investment Management) and Jason Balls  (EPR Architects) discussed the importance of design for City occupiers and for the prosperity of the City from this substantial new mixed-use commercial & retail development. They also commented on the increased demand on office spaces and how this has challenged the understanding and expectations of the workplace.
