Avison Young has officially opened the doors to its new London office at The Met Building, marking a significant milestone for the business.

The new workspace, designed and delivered in collaboration with workplace experts Peldon Rose, brings together almost 500 professionals under one roof and reflects the firm's commitment to collaboration, client service, and sustainable urban regeneration.

More than just a relocation, the move showcases the diverse skillset of Avison Young’s service offering. The firm played a key role across various stages from searching for the right building, shaping the workplace strategy and managing the fit-out, through to engineering, project management, change management and facilities management. It’s a tangible demonstration of the integrated service Avison Young delivers for clients every day.

The relocation brings together Avison Young’s London teams from Gresham Street and Regent Street into one purpose-designed hub in Fitzrovia – a location chosen for its connectivity, vibrancy, and proximity to clients, collaborators and competitors.

The building – retrofitted with a focus on low-carbon technology and reuse – includes a dedicated entrance, four floors of workspace, multiple rooftop terraces with city views, and generous end-of-journey facilities. Internally, the design blends collaboration and comfort, with flexible zones, quiet focus areas, and informal breakout spaces. An open, light-filled reception featuring natural materials throughout reflects the firm’s focus on wellbeing and sustainability.

Nick Walkley, UK President and Principal, Avison Young, said: “The Met represents the next chapter in how we work – a space shaped by our own expertise across workplace strategy, design, engineering, project management and change. We’ve applied the experience and advice we provide our clients and tested it on ourselves. The result is a place that fosters creativity and connection, while investing in the long-term future of our people, our clients, and our presence in London.”

Adrian Crooks, Head of Leasing, Lazari Investments, said: “We’re proud to welcome Avison Young to The Met – a building that reflects the future of sustainable, design-led workspace in London. Their decision to bring together their London teams here is a testament to The Met’s quality, connectivity and the collaborative environment it offers. As landlords, it’s incredibly rewarding to see our vision for The Met brought to life by a business that shares our values of sustainability, wellbeing and long-term investment in people and place.”

Martin Dean, Executive Project Director, Peldon Rose, said: “This new workplace marks a bold step forward for Avison Young, uniting previously separate teams under one roof to create a space that enhances productivity and supports client engagement. Rooted in a concept inspired by the layers of the city, the design moves from grounded, purposeful foundations to elevated spaces that support focus and wellbeing, all while embedding sustainability and operational excellence at its centre.”
