This is 1 Broadgate
PROLOUGE
Where Possibility Shines
What does it take to redefine what a workplace can be? At 1 Broadgate, JLL has created more than an office—we’ve established a living case study in holistic design thinking that challenges conventional approaches to the built environment. Spanning 90,000 square feet across three floors of London’s largest traffic-free campus, this UK flagship workplace demonstrates what becomes possible when ambition, partnership, and adaptability converge. This is not a story of perfection achieved on the first attempt. It is a story of evolution, of a vision that remained constant even as standards, certifications, and market dynamics shifted around us. Through creating a highly sustainable, inclusive, and high-performance workplace that enhances wellbeing, 1 Broadgate exemplifies the depth of talent within our organisation and the power of collaboration to create exceptional outcomes. JLL needed to establish a new UK flagship office as part of a three-site London strategy, placing our business closer to our diverse client base while maintaining agility and collaboration. But we challenged ourselves to go further. The ambition was to integrate aggressive targets for carbon reduction and social value into a workplace that would: Attract and retain top talent in a competitive market Advance sustainability and circularity beyond industry benchmarks Demonstrate strong commitment to wellbeing and inclusion Enable flexible, high-performance workstyles Showcase JLL’s expertise to clients and stakeholders By bringing together JLL and LaSalle Investment Management at 1 Broadgate, we’ve united platform excellence across real estate services and investment management. This creates expanded reach and scope of opportunity—bringing together diverse talent and capabilities to deliver exceptional outcomes for clients. With LaSalle Investment Management now based at 1 Broadgate, we’re closer than ever, drawing on shared platform strength through our extensive research, data, and technology capabilities alongside our advisory and investment management expertise. The following pages take you through our journey—from vision to realisation. You’ll discover how we designed for people, designed for planet, and designed for progress, weaving these themes together to create a destination workplace for our people and clients, a place to broaden horizons.

THE VISION
The Journey Begins
“ What does it take to redefine what a workplace can be? It begins with an ambitious vision, challenging ourselves to go further, embracing opportunity in every detail and working side by side with our colleagues and trusted partners to bring together that ambition.”
Andrew O’Donnell

THE VISION
Strategic Context
“ Finding a space that balanced all our priorities size, transport, amenities, and market presence within a competitive London market required persistence and keeping our focus on both operational needs and the user experience to guide every decision.”
Jeremy Attfield Central London Markets
The decision to establish 1 Broadgate as our UK flagship was driven by strategic necessity and market opportunity. As part of a carefully considered three-site London strategy, the new workplace needed to position JLL closer to our diverse client base while creating a hub that would unite our teams and showcase our capabilities. The 32-acre Broadgate campus offered something rare in London: a traffic-free environment with unparalleled connectivity. With access to four tube lines, the Elizabeth line, and the Stansted Express via Liverpool Street Station, plus over 60 food, drink, and retail locations on campus, the location provided both practicality and prestige.
Four Interconnected Pillars From the outset, we established that this workplace would be guided by four interconnected pillars, each as important as the others: Sustainability - Market-leading circularity and carbon reduction Wellbeing - Evidence-based design for physical and mental health Inclusivity - Moving beyond compliance to create genuine belonging Experience - Seamless technology and adaptable spaces These weren’t separate initiatives—they were interwoven design principles that would inform every decision, from procurement to technology integration.

The Complexity of Ambition
“ The biggest complexity was balancing evolving standards, intense cost pressures, and the need to integrate circularity, wellbeing, and inclusivity simultaneously. There was no single template to follow.”
Stuart Cochrane Workplace Sustainability and IMS Leader
This wasn’t a straightforward path. As the project evolved, so did industry standards, certifications, and business requirements. Leadership changes, new workstyles, and emerging regulations meant constant adaptation. But our core ambition never wavered.

Managing Through Change
“ We had to keep adapting to evolving business requirements, leadership changes, and new workstyles, all while ensuring our core ambitions for sustainability and experience remained the priority.”
Stuart Cochrane Workplace Sustainability and IMS Leader
“ Integrating significant redesigns late into the programme while keeping the end date fixed meant we had to remain agile, refocus resources, and maintain strong relationships with contractors to adapt to change and keep everything on track.”
A Partnership Approach
Andrew Williams Project Management
Success required what we call “radical collaboration”—bringing together internal teams across JLL with carefully selected specialists, consultants, and contractors who shared our ambition. Early contractor engagement was critical, allowing us to navigate complexity and integrate ambitious goals into the construction programme. This flagship workplace demonstrates what’s possible when ambition, trusted partnership, and adaptability come together. Designed to create a benchmark in circular and inclusive workplace design that will evolve alongside our people and clients, 1 Broadgate is where forward-thinking ideas become everyday reality.

Designing for People
DESIGNING FOR PEOPLE
The Human-Centric Approach
Great workplaces begin with a simple question: What do people need to thrive? At 1 Broadgate, we refused to design for an imagined “average” user. Instead, we embraced a philosophy of designing for diverse needs, knowing that when we design for the extreme, we ultimately suit the mean. This chapter explores how we wove together inclusive design, user experience, and health and wellbeing into a unified, human-centric approach.

Inclusive Design - Beyond Compliance
DESIGNING FOR PEOPLE
Spread: Before/after circulation space comparison; close-up of tactile handrails
“ Moving beyond designing for the ‘average’ user was our fundamental challenge. Supporting a wide range of needs—from neurodiversity to family requirements meant we had to ‘design for the extreme to suit the mean,’ which required deep specialist involvement and constant user feedback.”
Nikhil Dhumma EMEA CRE Design & Programme Work Dynamics
Co-Creation from Day One
The entire design process was co-created with specialists in accessibility, neurodiversity, and inclusion from the outset—not as a final compliance check. This specialist-led approach ensured that inclusive design was embedded in every decision, from space planning to material selection.

Supporting Neurodiversity
Understanding that sensory needs vary dramatically across individuals, we created what we call “aural diversity zones”—a spectrum from quiet to collaborative, with thoughtful acoustic design and building-wide sound masking to reduce background noise and distraction. Lighting was selected to reduce flicker, and finishes were chosen to avoid excessive visual stimulation. Even details like physical noticeboards were designed to be non-illuminated if needed, providing a more comfortable experience for light-sensitive individuals. Dedicated Facilities with Dignity
A comprehensive wellbeing suite includes: Multi-faith room with wudhu provision Parenting room (with coat hooks and mirror—details that matter) Restorative spaces for mental health and privacy All-gender facilities
“ Small but vital details were included, such as coat hooks and a mirror in the parenting room, based on user centric thinking.”

Circular Design - Urban Mining in Action
DESIGNING FOR PLANET
Spread: Before/after furniture transformations; raised floor installation
The Reuse Revolution
Traditional fit-out procurement follows a linear model: specify new, manufacture, install, use, dispose. At 1 Broadgate, we flipped this model on its head through what we call “urban mining”—treating existing buildings as repositories of valuable materials waiting for a second life. The results speak for themselves: 100% reuse of raised access flooring 100% reuse of task furniture 100% reuse of monitor arms 100% reuse of room booking panels and printers Approximately 70% second-life furniture overall Reuse of around 20% of video-conferencing devices from previous offices Remanufactured open plan lighting delivering 80% carbon saving vs new

Creative Reuse
The reuse market doesn’t operate like traditional procurement. There are no catalogues, no guaranteed lead times, no fixed specifications. Success required building trusted relationships with specialist suppliers, moving quickly when opportunities arose, and maintaining flexibility in the design to accommodate what was actually available. Balustrade glazing from British Land’s strip-out at 1 Triton Square was incorporated into JLL’s staircase design—transforming waste from one project into a design feature in another. Remanufactured open plan lighting is not only 80% lower carbon than new—it’s more energy efficient than the original product specified. Future-Proofing Through Digital Passports
Digital material passports were developed for 300 products and assemblies, creating a living database that will inform future fit-outs and make circularity easier for the next generation of workplace projects.

Circular Performance - Measuring What Matters
DESIGNING FOR PLANET
Infographic: Carbon reduction breakdown by category
Embodied Carbon Reduction
We’re on track to achieve our UK embodied carbon fit-out target of 50% reduction against the JLL fit-out baseline—a market-leading achievement that required innovation across every trade package. Key strategies:
Urban mining delivered approximately 500 tonnes of carbon savings through product and material reuse alone. Low-carbon design strategies delivered additional significant reductions: Artus Fan Coil Units reduced steel duct runs Ecoduct reduced steel in ventilation ducts Optimised ceiling design using acoustic panels and acoustic spray mix across fit-out
The Complexity of Integration
“ One of the biggest complexities was translating ambitious sustainability targets into the practical reality of a large fit-out. The challenge was technical, behavioural, and commercial establishing processes to manage conflicts and maximise synergies between multiple targets and initiatives.”
Areti Makantasi Sustainable Asset Services
Every decision involved trade-offs. A flexible, evidence-driven partnership allowed the team to test options and provide data on carbon, energy, cost, and occupant experience for each option—making informed decisions rather than relying on assumptions. Operational Energy Excellence
Energy efficiency was embedded into the design from day one. SMART ‘follow me’ controls minimise energy consumption out of hours, while intelligent building systems optimise energy use based on actual occupancy. We’re targeting operational energy use intensity aligned to industry best practice—ensuring the building performs as efficiently in operation as it does on paper.

Johana Rodriguez Design Lab
The JLL Loop Library is a proprietary platform that brings intelligence and clarity to sustainable procurement: More than 70 supplier partners engaged Over 3,400 furniture assets assessed for reuse/remanufacture Hundreds of furniture product variants analysed against up to 16 sustainability criteria each
From Data to Decisions
This wasn’t about collecting information for its own sake. The Loop Library allowed the project team to make evidence-based decisions at pace, comparing carbon impact, circularity credentials, and cost in real-time.
“ Using evidence-based design principles meant moving from opinion to fact—the Loop Library gave us the confidence to specify materials we knew met our ambitious goals.”

The Business Case for Sustainability
DESIGNING FOR PLANET
Infographic: Cost comparison - traditional vs circular approach
Creative Reuse
“ The biggest barrier was managing a fixed construction budget in a high-inflation environment while simultaneously integrating new, unproven circular procurement models that had no fixed price list. We overcame this with robust governance—weekly cost reviews and a ‘fail fast’ approach to opportunities.”
Simon Patterson Director – Cost Management
The result? We delivered 2% savings on construction costs compared to a standard new fit-out, achieved by embedding circularity from the start. This proves a critical point: sustainability isn’t a cost premium when it’s designed in from day one. It’s a value driver that delivers financial, environmental, and reputational benefits simultaneously.

Social Impact - Creating Positive Change
DESIGNING FOR PROGRESS
Spread: Community engagement activities; on-site partnerships
The Social Value Opportunity
The fit-out of 1 Broadgate presented an opportunity to create positive societal impact for the local community and people working on site. Rather than treating social value as an afterthought, we embedded it into our procurement, partnerships, and programme from the beginning.
“ Social impact and environmental sustainability aren’t separate workstreams, they’re interconnected aspects of responsible development. Every decision we made considered both.”

DESIGNING FOR PROGRESS Images: Luminary Bakery products; partnership team members Spread: Volunteering activities; telephone box relocation; donated items Images: Training sessions; diverse contractor team members at work
Supporting Local Enterprise
We specifically focused our efforts on engaging the local community, including a collaboration with Luminary Bakery, a local social enterprise, which has been integrated with our on-site catering team at 1BG, creating a sustainable partnership model for future initiatives. This partnership provides employment opportunities, supports social mobility, and ensures that the benefits of the project extend beyond JLL’s walls into the surrounding community. Age UK Partnership
A particular focus was supporting Age UK, our national charity partner, through several meaningful initiatives: Direct engagement: Volunteering at two local London centres Digital upskilling sessions known as “Techy Tea Parties” conducted in collaboration with the construction team Ongoing partnership creating sustained impact beyond project completion Creative reuse for social good: Recycling employee-donated clothing to create furniture Donating artwork from Warwick Street and Walbrook offices for Age UK to sell and generate much-needed funds Relocating the iconic red telephone box from Warwick Street to an Age UK service centre, where it aligns perfectly with their mission as they operate telephone services for older adults
Supplier Diversity
70% of subcontractors were from diverse-owned companies, demonstrating our commitment to inclusive procurement practices that create economic opportunities across communities.
Skills and Employment
The project created training and employment opportunities for local tradespeople, with a particular focus on upskilling in circular economy practices and sustainable construction methods—building capability that will benefit future projects across the industry.

The Integration Challenge
DESIGNING FOR PROGRESS
Infographic: Governance structure; decision-making process
Bringing It All Together
Technology and social impact don’t exist in silos—they intersect and reinforce each other. Digital tools enabled better communication with community partners. Data systems helped track and verify social value outcomes. Technology training provided to Age UK clients created digital inclusion alongside physical workplace excellence.
“ The complexity wasn’t just technical or social it was coordinating multiple ambitious goals simultaneously while maintaining programme discipline and budget control.”
Andrew Williams
Governance and Accountability Weekly cost reviews, regular stakeholder check-ins, and a ‘fail fast’ approach to testing new ideas created the governance structure needed to manage complexity without sacrificing innovation.
“ Robust governance allowed us to absorb changes without ever breaching the budget. It gave us the confidence to try new approaches because we knew we could course-correct quickly if needed.”

Progress in Practice
Progress at 1 Broadgate isn’t measured only in technology deployed or charitable donations made. It’s measured in the seamless daily experiences of 1,200 colleagues, the sustained partnerships with community organisations, and the replicable model we’ve created for future workplace projects.
“ When technology works so well that people don’t think about it, and when social value is so embedded that it feels like the natural way to deliver projects—that’s when you know you’ve designed for progress.”

A Visible Circular Economy
Walk through 1 Broadgate and you’re surrounded by second-life materials—but you’d never know it. The remanufactured lighting looks brand new. The refurbished task chairs feel premium. The reused raised floor is indistinguishable from new installation. This is intentional. Circular design at 1 Broadgate doesn’t compromise on quality or aesthetics—it enhances them by demanding higher standards of assessment, refurbishment, and installation. Carbon Made Tangible
Approximately 500 tonnes of carbon saved through urban mining alone—equivalent to the annual emissions of 108 passenger vehicles. The low-carbon design strategies for ventilation, cooling, and ceiling systems saved thousands more tonnes. These aren’t abstract numbers. They represent real materials that weren’t manufactured, transported, and installed—materials that will have second, third, or fourth lives in future projects thanks to the digital passports we created.
Nature Integrated
The 18,705 square feet of terraces aren’t decorative additions—they’re core to the wellbeing strategy. Rich planting supports biodiversity, rainwater irrigation demonstrates closed-loop thinking, and Wi-Fi connectivity ensures they function as genuine workspaces, not just break areas. Over 90% of desks have quality outdoor views, creating constant visual connection to nature even when working inside.

Universal Design Excellence
The wider circulation spaces feel generous without calling attention to themselves. The high-contrast flooring aids navigation naturally. The tactile handrails work for everyone, whether they’re needed for guidance or simply provide a satisfying detail. This is the goal of inclusive design—creating spaces that work better for everyone, not separate solutions for different groups. Neurodiversity Support
The aural diversity zones create a gradient from quiet to collaborative without rigid boundaries. Colleagues can choose their environment based on their needs at any given moment—focused concentration in the morning, collaborative energy in the afternoon, or retreat to a restorative space when needed. Sound masking creates consistency without monotony. Lighting avoids flicker. Visual complexity is carefully calibrated across different zones.
Dignity in Facilities
The wellbeing suite on Level 10 demonstrates how thoughtful design creates dignity. The multi-faith room includes wudhu provision integrated seamlessly. The parenting room includes those small but critical details—coat hooks, mirror, comfortable seating that show the space was designed by people who understood the real needs of users. All-gender facilities are clearly signed and distributed across all floors, ensuring everyone can access appropriate facilities without compromise or discomfort.

Lessons Learned
R E F L E CT I O N S & I M PACT
Spread: Flexible furniture arrangements; modular technology; adaptable spaces in use
The Power of Partnership
“The single most important lesson from 1 Broadgate is this: radical collaboration isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s essential. When internal teams, external consultants, contractors, and suppliers operate as true partners, sharing risk and working toward common goals, the impossible becomes achievable.”
Andrew O’Donnell
Early contractor engagement was transformative. By involving the construction team in design development, we avoided costly late-stage conflicts, integrated buildability thinking from the start, and created a culture of shared ownership.
“ The relationship with our contractors wasn’t transactional, it was genuinely collaborative. When challenges arose, we solved them together. That trust allowed us to navigate complexity and change without derailing the programme.”
Andrew Williams
Design for Adaptability, Not Perfection No brief remains static over an 18-month programme. Leadership changes, workstyle preferences evolve, market conditions shift, regulations update, and new standards emerge. Projects that attempt to lock down every detail at the start inevitably fail.
“ We learned to design for flexibility rather than fixed outcomes. The spaces that work best are those that can adapt—loose furniture instead of built-in, modular technology instead of fixed systems, materials with digital passports that can move to future projects.”
Georgina Pater-Bell
This principle applies equally to sustainability strategies, technology platforms, and user experience design. Build in optionality, create systems not solutions, and design for evolution.

Evidence Defeats Assumption
The JLL Loop Library and rigorous data collection transformed procurement from opinion-based to evidence-based decision-making.
“ Having verified sustainability data meant we could compare options objectively—carbon, circularity, cost, quality, and make informed decisions quickly. It removed subjectivity and built confidence across stakeholders.”
Johana Rodriguez
This lesson applies beyond materials. Environmental sensor data validated design decisions. Occupancy tracking confirmed assumptions (or revealed surprises). Post-occupancy evaluation provided evidence for future workplace strategies. Fail Fast, Learn Faster
The governance structure—weekly cost reviews, regular stakeholder check-ins, rapid testing of new approaches—created permission to experiment without risking programme delivery.
“ The ‘fail fast’ approach meant we tested circular procurement strategies, assessed reuse opportunities, and trialled technology solutions with confidence. When something didn’t work, we course-corrected immediately without blame or delay.”
Simon Patterson
This cultural approach to risk management enabled innovation while maintaining budget and programme discipline. Inclusive Design Benefits Everyone
“ The lesson we learned is profound but simple: when you design for diverse needs—neurodiversity, accessibility, wellbeing, you create better spaces for everyone. Universal design isn’t about accommodation; it’s about excellence.”
Nikhil Dhumma
The wider circulation spaces feel generous to all users. The acoustic diversity supports varied workstyles regardless of neurodiversity. The high-contrast wayfinding aids everyone navigating the space. Inclusive design is simply better design.

Setting New Benchmarks
1 Broadgate’s sustainability performance—on track for BREEAM Outstanding, WELL Platinum, and WELL Equity Rating, with market-leading embodied carbon reduction and circularity—establishes new reference points for what’s achievable in UK workplace fit-outs.
“ We’re already seeing the market respond. Clients are asking for ‘1 Broadgate-level’ sustainability performance. Contractors are building circular procurement capabilities. The project has shifted expectations across the industry.”
Stuart Cochrane
The financial case is equally compelling: delivering 2% cost savings compared to standard new fit-out while achieving exceptional environmental performance proves that sustainability and value aren’t competing priorities. Knowledge Sharing
The learnings from 1 Broadgate aren’t proprietary—they’re being actively shared: Internal deployment: Digital passport system being rolled out across JLL portfolio Technology standards informing other workplace projects Circular procurement approaches being adopted globally Inclusive design principles embedded in design standards External influence: Case studies shared with industry bodies and forums Supplier partnerships creating capability across the market Certification pathways demonstrating achievable excellence Client conversations informed by tangible demonstration

The Ripple Effect
Perhaps the most powerful impact is the hardest to quantify: the changed mindset across teams, suppliers, and stakeholders who experienced a different way of working.
“ The suppliers we worked with on circular procurement have built new capabilities they’re now bringing to other projects. The market is changing because the people in the market have changed.”
Katrina Norman
This cultural impact, the expectation that ambitious sustainability and exceptional user experience should be standard, not exceptional, may be 1 Broadgate’s most enduring legacy.

The Benchmark We Set
1 Broadgate establishes a new standard for what workplace fit-outs should deliver: Environmental excellence as baseline, not aspiration Inclusive design as default, not addition Technology that serves people, not the other way around Social value embedded, not appended Financial discipline maintained, not sacrificed These aren’t competing priorities requiring trade-offs. They’re interconnected outcomes of holistic design thinking.
“If 1 Broadgate has one enduring message, it’s this: you don’t have to choose between ambitious sustainability and exceptional user experience, between environmental performance and financial discipline, between technological sophistication and human-centric design. When you approach workplace design holistically, these goals reinforce each other.”
The Journey Continues
Andrew O’Donnell:
1 Broadgate isn’t the destination—it’s a milestone in an ongoing journey toward more sustainable, inclusive, and human-centric workplaces. Every lesson learned informs the next project. Every partnership strengthened creates capability for future collaboration. Every certification achieved raises the baseline expectation. The workplace of the future isn’t a fixed concept to be achieved—it’s a continuous evolution toward spaces that serve people, planet, and progress with equal commitment.

Final Reflection
“ When we started this journey, we asked ourselves: What does it take to redefine what a workplace can be? The answer, we’ve learned, isn’t found in any single innovation or achievement. It’s found in the daily experience of 1,200 colleagues who feel they belong, in the 500 tonnes of carbon we didn’t emit, in the partnerships that continue creating community impact, in the clients who leave inspired to rethink their own workplace strategies. 1 Broadgate proves that when ambition meets partnership and adaptability, when we refuse to compromise between competing goods, when we design holistically for people and planet, possibility shines through in every detail. This is where forward-thinking ideas become everyday reality. This is where we broaden horizons. This is 1 Broadgate.”
