British Land secures robotics AI firm for London 'innovation' cluster

· Issued by British Land Company Plc

LONDON'S AI property boom is gathering pace after British Land and Royal London Asset Management secured another major tech occupier at Regent's Place, City AM can reveal.

Robotics startup Humanoid has signed for 42,000 sq ft at One Triton Square, pushing the building to 94 per cent let just six months after completion, as demand for AI firms continues to surge across the capital.

The deal is the latest sign of how AI startups are reshaping the city's office market, particularly around King's Cross and Regent's Place, where names like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Deepmind and Meta have all expanded operations.

Founded back in 2024, Humanoid develops general-purpose humanoid robots made for industrial settings such as manufacturing.

The firm is set to join a growing cohort of science and tech businesses already based at One Triton Square, including AI behemoth Anthropic.

CBRE has estimated that the sector could occupy as much as four million sq ft of London office space by 2033, compared with around 1.5m sq ft today, as global industry giants scale rapidly.

Head of campuses at British Land Michael Wiseman said: "Science and technology businesses want to grow here, access world-class talent and be part of an innovation ecosystem".
