Kelly Cleveland, British Land's head of real estate and investment, says the business is "walking the walk" after relocating to one of its own London office campuses earlier this year.
Speaking to CoStar News' Top CREdentials podcast a few weeks after unpacking at 20 Triton Street in Euston, she explains the company's conviction in the campus model and how it is creating modern workspaces for occupiers at sites like Broadgate, Canada Water and Paddington Central.
Cleveland, who joined British Land from Grosvenor in 2011 after moving to the UK from Auckland in the noughties, also talks about the impact of AI firms' thirst for workspace on the London office market, having signed Claude developer Anthropic to 158,000 square feet at Regent's Place earlier this year.
The senior British Land leader also outlines her role in helping the REIT to grow its retail parks portfolio from £1 billion to circa £3 billion in recent years, and discusses the imminent arrival of new chief executive Joanne McNamara, who is set to take over from Simon Carter as the firm's new chief executive.
