About King's Cross
King's Cross has gone from rail yards to a 67-acre campus anchored by Google's 600,000 sqft building, Meta's offices, Universal Music Group, AstraZeneca and Central Saint Martins. The Argent-developed estate is unusually coherent — clean public realm, the Coal Drops Yard retail, and a consistent design language across new buildings. Office stock is exclusively Grade A; there is essentially no period or warehouse product. Floorplates start at 5,000 sqft and run to 80,000+ for the trophy buildings. Pricing has held above £100/sqft for several years thanks to relentless demand from tech and life sciences.
