Apple signs major office deal at Battersea Power Station

Apple has signed a deal to become the largest office tenant at Battersea Power Station.

The computer giant will occupy 500,000 sq ft of space across six floors of the central Boiler House inside the power station.

Apple is expected to move in during 2021 to its new new London campus which will be home to 1,400 employees.

Rob Tincknell, CEO of Battersea Power Station Development Company said: “We are delighted that Apple has chosen to make Battersea Power Station its home in 2021.

“It is testament to our fantastic building and the wider regeneration of the 42-acre site which offers a carefully curated mix of homes, businesses and leisure amidst extraordinary open spaces and new transport links.

“It has always been our clear objective to create one of London’s most thriving new communities and this commitment from Apple will undoubtedly help us achieve our goal.”

It is understood that the transaction represents the largest office letting in London’s wider West End in the last twenty years.
