Converting a gas-powered office to an electric landmark
In collaboration with our occupiers, we are undertaking the full electricification of this 545,000 square foot landmark building - replacing gas boilers with air source heat pumps and coolers, all while the building remains open for business. This hand-in-hand partnership with our occupiers will transform the energy efficiency of the building, future proofing it for the MEES legislation, well ahead of the proposed 2030 deadline.

Fit-out putting circular economy into practice
Fit-out is real estate's neglected carbon and waste problem. In the urgency to replace fluorescent bulbs with LEDs, for example, it is common practice to discard the old fittings completely. With the refit of Nexus level 10, we proved it's possible to do things differently. Lighting carcasses and hardwood floors refurbished. Spare office furniture donated to charity partners. Doors, walls and ceiling tiles reused and made good.
Achieved at Nexus
68%
lower carbon emissions than a comprable fit-out
