The building will provide quality workspace for our expanding team and clients. The standout design and sustainability credentials are a perfect fit and will enable us to have a greater focus on employee health and well-being, with natural light and plentiful outdoor space, as well as being in close proximity to a range of public transport options and park amenities."
