Legal & General signs three more tenants at Apex in Reading
Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) Real Assets, has secured a further three lettings at the newly refurbished Apex building, located next to Reading train station.
Apex comprises of 221,000 sq ft Grade A office space, which underwent further refurbishment this year as part of the Legal & General’s second phases of its ‘capsule’ concept, offering more flexible leasing. Capsule offices offer a range of options to suit occupiers needs, moving away from the traditional category-A fit out to provide furnished and work ready offer.
Since launching in 2018, Capsule has proven an increasingly popular option for occupiers, a trend that is now expected to continue in a post-COVID environment when the case for flexible office products will be even stronger.
The three lettings within Apex included; Lichfields, Randstad recruitment agency and MMT, who have all opted for a five year flexible lease.
“Despite the Covid crisis, the Capsule offer continues to see great traction, and these Apex lettings are testament to this. Capsule is a flexible offer for our occupiers, delivering high quality, furnished and work ready fitted office space across the UK. Whilst there may be a sea of change ahead in the real estate sector, our approach will be customer and market driven by offering straightforward, low capital solutions which can be transacted without delay.”
