Why Attend This Office Conference in London
London office supply is the tightest it's been in years. Prime City rents hit a record £130.80 per square foot in Q1 2026, up 40% year over year. The City Core has just 1.1 years of Grade A supply left, against a 10 year average of 1.7. Mayfair and St James's are down to 0.7 years. No Grade A space of scale is expected before Q3 2027, and the squeeze runs through 2029.
New development can't keep pace. 2026 completions are down 40% from 2025, and over half of future supply is refurbishment, not ground-up. Grade A still took 78% of Q1 2026 leasing, proof occupiers are paying up for quality as terms shorten and rents rise.
This event puts developers, landlords, occupiers, workplace leaders, and proptech innovators in one room to work through what that means: where ground-up still pencils, what occupiers actually want, how leasing and operating models need to shift, and where AI is already changing how buildings run. If you're making London office decisions in the next two to five years, this is built for you.
What You’ll Learn:
Learn what rent level justifies new construction and where retrofit now beats ground-up.
See how floor plates are adapting to hybrid work and four-year pre-lease commitments.
Find out what occupiers want that the market isn't delivering, which amenities actually bring people back to the office, and how to sell the ROI to a CFO.
Hear how landlords weigh owning, operating, and partnering on a building.
Learn how to turn occupier inertia into stronger relationships and structure deals as lease terms shorten and rents rise.
Explore where AI is already transforming leasing and asset management, how smart systems cut costs while improving tenant experience, and the real barriers to adoption: cost, data, infrastructure, or culture.
