with the public realm surroundings.
Commenting, James Lass, Fund
Manager, Schroder UK Real Estate Fund,
said:
“This latest planning milestone allows
us to maintain and build upon the
momentum that is building at Ruskin
Square. With occupiers increasingly
seeking high quality offices in non-core
London locations with good public
transport access, Croydon is becoming a
go-to destination.”
