This Session will also be an overview of the St Paul’s scheme from the perspective of Hill Dickinson, one of the major corporate occupiers who have re-located and anchored this development and how urban office schemes can act as a catalyst for establishing new standards, which can then help to attract key worker staff, quality tenants and blue chip investment funds.
