    Workspace Unwired: The role of offices in making place

    In this episode of Workspace Unwired Matt Flood, development director and head of commercial development at Related Argent joins BCO chief executive Samantha McClary to talk about the firm’s Brent Cross project. The scheme, which is three times the size of King’s Cross, will deliver an entirely new settlement in the London borough of Barnet, including some 3m sq ft of offices.  It is a project that underscores the importance of workspace in creating place, says Flood, with offices bringing people, industry and income to a part of London that is lacking the appropriate office stock. Residential, student and retail play a major part in the development, but with sustainability and placemaking at the heart of what Related Argent is trying to deliver at the site, offices are essential. Listen in as Flood explains the purpose behind the project and why we all need to get better at showcasing our workspaces as vital infrastructure to drive growth and to deliver places where people want to be.
