A landmark deal at TBC.London has set a new benchmark for office rents in SE1, underscoring a sharp rise in demand for high-specification, future-ready workspaces.

Developed by FORE Partnership in collaboration with KKR, TBC.London is not just a building, it’s a blueprint for the future of work. Designed as a fully electric, net-zero carbon office building, it represents a transformative vision for how workplaces can balance environmental performance, technological innovation, and human wellbeing.

The recent record-setting lease demonstrates that tenants are increasingly seeking spaces that are more than just functional, they are drawn to offices that embody sustainability, elevate employee experience, and offer future-proofed infrastructure.

TBC.London delivers on all fronts, combining best-in-class design, high-efficiency systems, generous outdoor space, all aired with cutting-edge digital infrastructure, setting a new standard for sustainable development in London.

NodeTech, a leader in building-wide digital infrastructure, has equipped TBC.London with a comprehensive suite of connectivity solutions, including:

  • Day-one access to multiple ISPs, eliminating delays, costs and wayleave complexity
  • A secure, resilient converged network supporting:
    • Smart environmental and occupancy sensors via Metrikus
    • In-building tenant app integration via Smart Spaces
    • Enhanced mobile coverage provided by Shared Access
  • Fully managed WiFi in common areas, including the rooftop terrace with panoramic views of Tower Bridge
  • Delivered on a no capex basis, with predictable lifecycle-managed costs for the landlord

Buildings like TBC.London are pushing the industry forward, by combining deep sustainability with best-in-class tenant experience. We’re proud to support that vision with infrastructure that’s as progressive as the space itself,” said Russ Dobson, COO, NodeTech.

TBC.London’s success reinforces a larger trend: the future of commercial real estate lies in places that are designed not just for occupancy, but for purpose. With flexibility, sustainability, and connectivity at its core, TBC.London is a compelling example of where London’s office market is headed.

BuiltAPI GmbH, the company pioneering API-driven data infrastructure for real estate investment and asset management, has successfully closed its latest funding round backed by industry leaders including Second Century Ventures, TDS, and Propertymark. The investment marks a major milestone as BuiltAPI expands its services across Europe and the UK, following its graduation from the REACH UK Accelerator Program.

BuiltAPI tackles one of the real estate sector’s most persistent problems: fragmented, siloed data ecosystems. The company provides a robust API framework that enables seamless connectivity between legacy systems, modern SaaS tools, and intelligent automation platforms — with interoperability, governance, and cybersecurity at its core.

“We’re building the backbone of real estate data infrastructure,” said Olga Dentzel, Co-Founder of BuiltAPI. “This funding and the support of the REACH UK program are accelerating our ability to deliver secure, scalable integrations to clients across borders.”

BuiltAPI’s technology is already making an impact with major real estate institutions such as HIH Real Estate and its fund service platform INTREAL, through their digital unit INTREAL Solutions. These collaborations highlight a shared vision for practical and scalable digital transformation in real estate asset and investment management.

“The industry doesn’t need yet another tool — it needs a connective tissue,” added Ivan Nokhrin, Co-Founder of BuiltAPI. “Our mission is to empower real estate professionals to access, share, and act on their data securely and without barriers.”

Graduation from the REACH UK Accelerator — the scale-up program backed by Second Century Ventures – marks BuiltAPI’s official entry into the UK market. The program has played a key role in unlocking investors support and refining BuildAPI’s growth trajectory.
