Broadgate is the premier City of London office estate, consisting of 16 office buildings, including the recently completed 201 Bishopsgate and Broadgate Tower. The Estate in its entirety comprises 4.8 million sq ft of Grade A office space – a distinctive
environment for some of the world’s largest corporations and leading professional practices.

The development of Broadgate has taken place in phases, with the most recent building, Broadgate Tower, being completed by us in August 2008. The office buildings, designed by leading architects, are all structurally independent, ranging in size from
81,000 sq ft to 410,000 sq ft and accommodate office floor plates ranging from 828 sq ft to 56,000 sq ft. Each building provides efficient working space of the highest standard. The flexibility built into the design of the buildings readily allows occupiers to
change floor layouts, create additional working space or install the latest technology to adapt to changing working needs.

Broadgate has a wide range of retail outlets and excellent public transport facilities. The Estate is served by Liverpool Street station, one of the City’s major transport interchanges, which provides mainline train services and four underground lines, as
well as a bus station and taxi services.

Within the Estate the buildings are set around four landscaped squares – Broadgate Circle, Exchange Square, Finsbury Avenue Square and Broadgate Plaza, the newest public space adjacent to the Broadgate Tower and 201 Bishopsgate – as well as the Bishopsgate Arcade. Each public space creates a unique working environment for the offices, enhanced by 53 restaurants, pubs, wine bars, shops and health clubs, as well as a five star hotel. In winter the open air ice rink in Broadgate Circle provides a focal point for spectators and skaters alike. In summer, open air events take place in the squares for the entertainment of those who work in and around Broadgate. The Estate is managed by Broadgate Estates, a wholly owned subsidiary of British Land.
