Royal London Asset Management and British Land have let 42,000 sq ft of lab space at One Triton Square, Regent’s Place, to AI and robotics company Humanoid.
Following completion of the deal, the building is 94% let just six months after practical completion. One Triton Square is home to a number of science and technology businesses, including AI company Anthropic and global biopharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences.
Thomas Shepherd, chief operating officer at Humanoid, said: “Humanoid is one of the fastest-growing robotics companies in the world, developing general-purpose humanoid robots – starting with the real challenges facing our industrial customers. Since founding two years ago, we’ve grown from our first 3,000 sq ft office to 42,000 sq ft at One Triton Square.
“The new space will give us the environment to further scale our team, accelerate development, and build within one of Europe’s most dynamic tech ecosystems. Being part of a community of leading technology and science companies creates opportunities for partnership, collaboration, and innovation – we’re delighted to be making the Regent’s Place campus our new home.”
Will Hawking, head of life sciences at Royal London Asset Management Property, added: “We are pleased to welcome Humanoid to One Triton Square and to see the building nearing full occupancy. This leasing momentum reflects our conviction that demand from science and technology occupiers is growing rather than retreating. Increasingly, we are seeing knowledge intensive, research-led organisations cluster alongside more traditional life sciences occupiers, and One Triton Square was designed specifically to support that convergence.
“Delivered through our joint venture with British Land, the building has become a cornerstone of our life sciences strategy across the Golden Triangle and provides strong evidence that deploying into prime, well-connected innovation assets continues to deliver both occupational demand and long-term value for our investors.”
Michael Wiseman, head of campuses at British Land, said: “This letting is a powerful endorsement of our strategy for One Triton Square and our Regent’s Place campus. We were clear in our conviction that this space, in the right format, would be hugely attractive to the next generation of science and technology businesses, and now we’re seeing unprecedented demand from AI-led companies to grow their businesses here in London: it is the place to be.
“Science and technology businesses want to grow here, access world-class talent and be part of an innovation ecosystem. We have been able to support a number of businesses in their expansion into London, and it is great to be able to support a UK-born business with their growth at Regent’s Place.”
