Launch of Kitt's Thrive Not Survive Report

Written by Lucy Minton | 1 Jul 2024

Asset ownership in London has undergone an irreversible shift

We’re delighted to share our latest industry report, Thrive Not Survive, which delves into London’s sub-10k office market to explore the trend of shrinking lease lengths, the flight to quality, and how asset owners can respond.

The report shows that:

  • Office leases have dropped by over a third in the past five years, from an average of eight years in 2019 to five years in 2023.
  • Hybrid working is pushing occupiers to seek more agile, experience-driven office spaces.
  • Those who adapt quickly can fill their buildings faster and achieve rents 10% to 40% higher than traditional leases.

The report is a must-read for asset owners, agents, and anyone interested in the changing dynamics of London’s competitive office sector.
