Welput, the central London office fund managed by BentallGreenOak, is committed to develop a new £1bn office building in Victoria Green in London, the UK.
The new 470,000ft2 sustainable office building at 105 Victoria Street will be the largest all-electric office in the UK.

The energy for the new office building will be supplied from fully renewable sources, with no gas supply and no diesel generator.
The building, which was granted planning approval in April, features 400,000ft2 of workspace, including 5,500ft2 for incubator and affordable space.
It will include 30,000ft2 of green space and terracing, which will include a 200 metre “walk and talk” track as well as an urban farm with community allotments.
Designed by architect KPF and Henning Larsen, the new office building will have 90,000ft2 of community space, a cycle ramp, a gym, cycle shop and cycle storage.

Work at the project site is expected to commence in July 2022, with completion targeted in the first quarter of 2026.
Welput managing director Ker Gilchrist said: “Rather than just reducing our carbon emissions, we want to be net beneficial to the environment. That means approaching today’s highest sustainability credentials not as a target to aspire to but a baseline to build from.
“With a comprehensive whole life carbon approach, 105 Victoria Street will surpass both existing and emerging sustainability standards, achieving net zero not only in operation but in the construction, with the building becoming net beneficial to the environment after just six years of its lifespan.”
