‘The world of work is changing rapidly. It’s now more important than ever to create spaces which embrace imagination, creativity and innovation. The redevelopment of our East India campus highlights how powerful the synergy betweencommunity, wellness and technology can be in a workspace, and we’ve come along way in proving this with the Import Building. With the Export Building, we’re unveiling another level of opportunity for the knowledge economy to meet with the digital age and spark some amazing ideas.’
Laurence Jones, Head of Asset Management at Trilogy said:
‘It’s been an incredible journey so far, working alongside occupiers who not only complement and support each other but also creating a community which thrives on collaboration.With key players in the higher education world and some impressive start-up and established digital businesses, the Import Building has given Republic a strong identity based on knowledge and innovation.With a significant amount of space already let or under offer, I’m confident that the energy and talent we’ve seen flourish inImport Building will be not only replicated but enhanced at Export.
