Legal & General Property and Mitsubishi Estate Company have launched Central Saint Giles, the first completed development in the UK by internationally-acclaimed architect Renzo Piano. The landmark mixed-use sustainable development consists of 37,000 m2 of office space, 56 private apartments, 53 affordable homes and nine new restaurants and café bars around a new courtyard piazza.

Located in the St Giles area of London’s West End between Covent Garden and Soho, the launch comes at an opportune time as West End office demand is improving at a time when there is limited supply of large prime office space. The partnership expects to make further announcements on tenants for the office space over the next couple of months.

L&G and Mitsubishi Estate Company say the development has 'impeccable' green credentials having achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating for its offices.
