The much-anticipated Grade A office building has 350,000 square feet of space across 21 floors. Designed by Arney Fender Katsalidis, the Turing Building is the first site to be delivered as part of Lendlease’s joint venture with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) at Stratford Cross.

It offers event spaces, an active lobby, a rooftop terrace, and a dedicated amenity floor on Level 21. An on-site Everyman cinema is also open.

The building is designed to be net-zero carbon, targeting BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Gold certifications. The façade, designed in partnership with Scheldebouw (Permasteelisa Group), has a higher life expectancy than standard double-glazed units due to its bespoke Closed Cavity Façade (CCF) system.

Low-temperature hot water will be supplied to the building via a plate heat exchanger and a reduction in regulated carbon emissions of at least 35 per cent beyond the applicable Part L has been targeted.

The building has been designed with a “loose-fit, long life” philosophy, so it can be adapted for other uses over its lifetime. A mix of low-and high-rise office floors is stacked above a two-storey podium, allowing for easy adaptation.

Guy Thomas, Head of Leasing at Lendlease, said: “The Turing Building is a best-in-class asset with market leading amenity and sustainability credentials. Its location near key cultural, educational, and sporting facilities as well as Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park gives potential occupiers a chance to join an ecosystem that is truly unrivalled outside of the West End. 

“The draw of the area is already clear. As well as strong interest in viewing the Turing Building, we’re attracting established names from the hospitality sector, with the arrival of Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen, and Everyman now open in Turing. Sadler’s Wells East and V&A East Storehouse will join the East Bank cultural institutions next year, as the area continues to emerge as London’s new cultural and innovation hub. The Turing Building is perfectly positioned to connect businesses and institutions to this thriving community of forward-thinking organisations and world-leading talent.”
