𝗤𝟮 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 - 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 - 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄 Demand for high-quality office space in London remains strong, but supply is increasingly constrained. Our latest Market Update looks at how this imbalance is influencing occupier behaviour. Faced with ongoing uncertainty, rising rents, fit-out costs and limited availability of Grade A space, many large organisations are choosing to stay where they are, investing in refurbishment and workplace upgrades rather than relocating. This is shaping the types of projects coming to market. Refurbishment and reconfiguration are becoming central to workplace strategies, with occupiers prioritising flexibility, functionality and sustainability in how their spaces perform. At the same time, the wider market context continues to be a challenge. Ongoing geopolitical tensions are contributing to energy and material price volatility, creating renewed inflationary pressure across parts of the supply chain.

At @_exigere , that has been a deliberate focus as we’ve grown. We’ve built a partner-led business where people have direct access to leadership, are trusted with responsibility early on, and can see how their work contributes to the wider direction of the company. Alongside that, we continue to invest in training, support long-term career development and work hard to maintain a collaborative culture as the business grows. For us, this recognition reflects the environment we’re continuing to build. Thank you to @buildingmag_news for the recognition.

𝗦𝗮𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀! Earlier this month, we strengthened our leadership team with two equity partner appointments, reflecting planned progression and long-term investment in senior leadership. Congratulations again to George Brown and Jack Lewis on joining the equity partnership. George marks his tenth year at exigere and specialises in major central London commercial office redevelopment. He is known for clear, concise advice and hands-on involvement from early stages through to completion. Beyond project work, he is actively involved in recruitment, management and strategy, as well as people development across the business. Jack joined exigere in 2019 and leads the workspace team, specialising in the London office fit-out market. He is highly trusted by clients for his diligence, reliability and practical commercial thinking, and has played a key role in strengthening exigere’s workspace capability as that part of the business has grown. These appointments recognise sustained contribution across the business and strengthen the depth of our senior team as we continue to build capacity for the next stage of our five-year plan.
