LCA Education Group is taking an additional 16,290 sq ft at the Import Building at Trilogy Real Estate and LaSalle Investment Management’s Republic education campus at East India Docks in London.
LCA is expanding its presence at the campus from 120,000 sq ft to 136,290 sq ft at a record rent of £37.50/sq ft, taking the building to 90% full.
Having first moved into the scheme in 2019, LCA operates multiple universities on-site including Anglia Ruskin University London, University of Northampton London and University of Central Lancashire London.
In October 2023, planning consent was secured for a 940,000 sq ft expansion of the campus to include student accommodation and university buildings, build-to-rent residential and a state-of-the-art data centre.
Laurence Jones, head of asset management at Trilogy Real Estate, said: “We are pleased to achieve this milestone at Republic and support our university partners with their continuing expansion. This not only supports the growth and development of the education sector, but also the overall economic landscape. By providing more space for learning and research, we are investing in the future leaders of tomorrow and fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration that will benefit the entire mix of occupiers at Republic.”
