International law firm SJ Berwin has advised long standing client British Land on Its agreement with the City of London Corporation for the redevelopment of the Shoreditch Estate E1.

The Estate comprises three sites covering two acres fronting onto Shoreditch High Street and Norton Folgate immediately to the north of Spitalfields and the core City of London market. The sites have potential for office, retail and residential accommodation in a mix of new, retained and refurbished buildings.

The Shoreditch Estate is a growing area of London and plays well to British Land’s planning and development skills. With much of its existing development programme completing over the next year, this site further adds to British Land’s pipeline.
Pat Jones, Real Estate partner, commented: “We are delighted to have acted for British Land on this exciting deal which will provide a vibrant mix in an exciting area of London.”

The transaction was led by Real Estate partner Pat Jones assisted by associates Katherine Medcalf and Rachel Burns
