World’s largest architecture and design practice to anchor revitalised office campus at Thomas More Square, London

　Resolution Property launched Moretown, the re-branded Thomas More Square estate in Wapping, London, with confirmation of a major pre-letting to Gensler, the world’s largest architecture, design, planning and consulting practice.

　　Gensler has agreed a fifteen-year lease to occupy 30,000 sq ft of office space at one of the comprehensively refurbished buildings within the 560,000 sq ft Moretown campus. It will move its 220 employees in 2017 from the company’s current London headquarters at Aldgate House, EC3N, to a state-of-the-art facility that will provide additional space for future expansion.

　　Gensler’s globally renowned workplace studio has set out to create a space at Moretown that is tailored to the specific needs of its highly creative workforce. Adopting a research-led approach, the company’s workplace designers have helped companies, ranging from start-ups to multinationals, including Instagram, Adidas, Aon and UBM, to create efficient work environments that drive creativity and job satisfaction.

　　Under the newly unveiled Moretown brand, the Thomas More Square estate will be repositioned to create an inspiring design-led campus for the needs of modern business in media, technology, finance and innovation. The wider estate is already home to Sky TV, IPSOS Mori, Digital Window, Thales and Handelsbanken.

　　Resolution Property and its cornerstone investor Fosun Property completed the purchase of the estate from Land Securities in March 2016.
