British Land has been chosen to develop the new mixed-use scheme based between Shoreditch and the City. The City of London Corporation has chosen British Land over a number of large London developers, including Allied London and Development Securities, to redevelop the Shoreditch Estate. Two years ago Shoreditch wasn’t even on the map for large office occupiers, but over the last 18 months or so rents have gone through the roof as tech firms have demanded space in the “Tech City”.
