Lend Lease and London & Continental Railways have announced the appointment of Jones Lang LaSalle and BNP Paribas Real Estate as joint agents to market office space in East London at The International Quarter at Stratford City.

The International Quarter will provide 4m sq ft of highly sustainable Grade A office space in Straftord, within a 22 acre site, providing a new and vibrant metropolitan hub for the Capital. Work on the £1.3bn, urban regeneration scheme can start in 2013, following the completion of the London 2012 Games, with the first plots ready to be occupied from the end of 2014.

Unusually for large scale regeneration projects such as this, much of the key infrastructure is already in place. In addition to the new train service direct into St Pancras International (journey time seven minutes); the City and West End are less than 20 minutes away via the Central and Jubilee Line with the DLR providing valuable links into Canary Wharf and City Airport. Crossrail will add to the transport infrastructure when it opens in 2018 providing a direct link to Heathrow.

Kevin Chapman, Head of Offices at Lend Lease said: “Stratford will be firmly on the map after 2012 and the International Quarter will ensure that there is a lasting legacy for the local community and London overall. We are delighted to have Jones Lang LaSalle and BNP Paribas on board.”

David Joy, Chief Executive at LCR said: “LCR is excited to have two such world class property agents working with us to deliver the outstanding International Quarter at Stratford City. These key appointments will ensure we can move quickly to delivery once the 2012 Games are complete”
