These initiatives collectively aim to enrich the community by providing economic opportunities, creating inviting public spaces, and fostering a sustainable and socially connected environment.
St Martins is committed to fostering opportunities for the local community to enjoy the building and surrounding public open spaces. Our plan includes:
-
Introduction of 105,000 sqm of high-quality offices, generating employment opportunities for up to 1,000 new jobs, supporting local economic growth.

Transformation of ground and lower ground floors into versatile spaces, featuring flexible retail, cafes and restaurants. This will cater not only to the local residential and business community but also to visitors, fostering a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere.
