Ivanhoé Cambridge and PIMCO Prime Real Estate announce the completion of Stonecutter Français
This prime office space in the heart of London achieved 93% pre-leasing at Practical Completion LONDON, May 29, 2025 /CNW/ - Ivanhoé Cambridge, the real estate group of CDPQ, and PIMCO Prime Real Estate announced today the completion of Stonecutter, a 13-story super-prime office building in the heart of London. This milestone represents the culmination of the redevelopment creating a state-of-the-art workspace, tailored to meet the demands of modern businesses with its optimized floor plates and sustainable features. The 240,000 sq ft office space is 93% leased to law firm Travers Smith and travel platform company Trainline. " The completion of Stonecutter and the decision by our tenants to partner with us underscore the fact that high-quality workspaces with exemplary sustainable credentials are what companies are looking for in today's evolving office landscape. This redevelopment provides increased amenities to its occupiers, helps reduce the carbon footprint of the building and offers new life to the London office sector," said Christina Forrest, Managing Director, Real Estate, Europe, at CDPQ. Niki Dembitz, Head of UK & Ireland at PIMCO Prime Real Estate, commented: " We have been consistent in our conviction that high-quality, well-located office concepts will continue to be in high demand. That Stonecutter is 93% leased on completion confirms this conviction. We're excited to be delivering this state-of-the-art office to our tenants, creating long-term value to our clients and adding to the City of London's appeal." Situated in Farringdon, one of London's most desirable and vibrant areas, the property offers easy access to transport hubs, prestigious residential neighbourhoods, shops, restaurants and the new cultural institutions soon to arrive in Smithfield. The redevelopment project successfully increased the net lettable area from the previous building by 66%. The new building is arranged over basement levels, ground, podium, and 13 upper floors, three of which benefit from expansive roof terraces. Stonecutter has been constructed with one of the lowest embodied carbon inputs of any new office building in the City of London at 581 kg CO 2 per square metre. This is a significant saving on the London Plan aspirational target of 600 kg CO 2 per square metre. The building will operate on a net zero carbon basis, benefitting from electric heating and cooling and a commitment to procure renewable power where available. The property aligns with BREEAM and WELL certifications and follows the CRREM pathway ensuring compliance with the Paris Accord and meeting the highest standards of environmental performance. Stonecutter is also forecast to emit just 263 kg CO 2 per person through occupation, which is 44% of the Paris Accord's outlined target of 600 kg of carbon emissions per person per year for real estate activities. In 2021, Ivanhoé Cambridge and PIMCO Prime Real Estate secured a major off-plan pre-let with the leading UK law firm, Travers Smith, committing to a 15-year lease on 158,000 sq. ft. The move is scheduled for March 2026. In March 2025, a second major lease of 60,000 sq ft was concluded with Trainline, the leading independent rail and coach travel platform, for a 10-year term. Trainline is set to move to its new headquarters in 2026. The redevelopment, designed by TP Bennett, was managed by CO-RE as the development manager and MACE as the general contractor.

'We have a small, loyal group of supporters that we care about a lot'
AS WELL MICHEÁL Aodh Martin might recall this Saturday's opponents Meath (Navan, 3pm), as Cork and their goalkeeper get ready for the opening round of their All-Ireland group stages. A goalkeeper in the more traditional mould, Martin was never one to go for a wander around the field until the Football Review Committee measures came into effect for the first few rounds of the league. With a potential 12 attackers facing 11 defenders, it meant having a roving goalkeeper was not only preferable, but essential to breaking down the opposition. Therefore, Martin was forced to go looking for the ball in open play, something he hadn't stressed over in the past. As it happens, he got on plenty against Meath. While he didn't split the posts himself, he provided an assist before he had to leave the field injured after 52 minutes. A few weeks later, it was all different again as certain tweaks were made to avoid the numerical advantage. Martin doesn't lament that change as much as others. 'The lads who play outfield for their clubs are obviously more comfortable in taking ball into contact and stuff. And then the lads who wouldn't have, you were still an extra man.' All the same, he wouldn't have been getting bolshy in the way of a Niall Morgan about potential restrictions on goalkeepers. 'That comes down to individuals then a lot of the time,' he says. Advertisement 'I suppose when I grew up, when I actually became a goalkeeper, it was probably pre-Stephen Cluxton and he probably changed everything really. He literally changed the game. Prior to him, it was shot-stopping, catching the ball and kicking it out long. So that's the way I grew up. 'But that will always come down to personal preferences and goalkeepers should really not have too much of a say in that debate because that rule change is about the game for the spectator, as opposed to a goalkeeper's individual feelings. And then myself, it probably applied to me less. I wasn't a roaming goalkeeper.' The obvious question to ask any goalkeeper of course, is why they became a goalkeeper? 'I always enjoyed saving the ball. I was a hurling goalkeeper. Literally as a child, you're a hurling goalkeeper, a soccer goalkeeper. 'I don't know what put me in there but I was in for everything. It was probably hurling actually. I don't know what it was but it was the old rubber mats in a hall, you used to get to dive around on them with the indoor hurling. 'That was actually what started it. Then someone realises that fella has got half-decent reflexes and you end up in there for everything.' After the first league game, he was observational in his comments and assessment, rather than for or against, saying, 'I actually think [the long kick-out] is nearly slowing the game down at the moment, but look, that's just an opinion. Some people love the contest. I get that too, and don't have a problem with it. I don't mind kicking out long. 'There's no point pretending; it is probably going back in time a small bit.' On reflection and with a greater sample size to assess, he revisits the issue. Ben Brady / INPHO Ben Brady / INPHO / INPHO 'I see positives and negatives to it. I probably hadn't thought that night about the knock-on impact of it, which is the fact that a team having a chance to win the ball back does encourage shooting. 'So when you actually take a step back and look at the whole game, I think that's a major part of it. The fact that it's a contest for possession after you kick a wide or a score means teams are more willing to go for those scores, which is a positive.' '…There are positives and negatives and the main thing is most people are positive overall about the rules. You can always nitpick one or two but if you take a step back, are people enjoying the games more? Yeah, I think so. 'Are players enjoying playing more? Yes. 'And David Gough was saying referees are enjoying refereeing more so you have to look at the big picture. There will always be one or two and everyone will have individual opinions on one or two. But that's the main thing.' The example of Armagh goalkeeper Ethan Rafferty in the Ulster semi-final win over Tyrone was a huge one for Martin, albeit Tyrone did not apply a man for man press on the Armagh restarts. 'Everyone kind of stood up and took notice of Armagh. I think they were 17 from 18 so I have no doubt a lot of people will be looking at them, like how did that happen?' he asks. 'Because a lot of the games throughout the league would have been close to 50-50. And then if you were breaking on the right side of 50-50, you were doing OK because you were hopefully hurting the other team on their kick-out. 'Obviously we can't get around the fact that there's less green grass to hit, so inevitably there's going to be more where there's a long ball. But keepers have shown that they can. 'I think as the weather improved, people sometimes underestimate the impact of the weather. League games are played in totally different conditions. 'Those kicks to pockets, they're really not on in some of those weather conditions, whereas I think for the first time in the last couple of weeks now, you've started to see teams going for those riskier kick-out. It's an interesting thing. We all have to look at it and maybe try and do a bit better.' In other years, Martin has been a regular attender of Cork hurling games. The recent hype around the Rebels has been punctured by the 16-point defeat to Limerick but all the same, their fevered support has always been something that contrasts heavily with the smaller group of Cork football afficionados. Jealous, much? Related Reads Meath game a measure of what Dublin have lost, Galway in Salthill will test further Barrett returns for Cork, Kerry make two changes with Paudie Clifford absent from squad Here we go: The eight teams that start the race for Sam Maguire this weekend 'No, I'm not,' laughs Martin. 'Our aim and our hope is to be playing in big Championship games that Cork people want to go to and that we draw those crowds. But I've been involved with the Cork team since 2015 on and off and this is the way I've always known it. It is what it is. 'We have a small, loyal group of supporters that we care about a lot. There's a small group that will come up to Fermanagh and places and we really value them as well. 'So I'm not envious. It would be great, don't get me wrong, and I hope to get the chance to play in games where we do draw that support. But I don't look at it with envy or anything like that.' There's only one place to start; Saturday in Navan. * Check out the latest episode of The42′s GAA Weekly podcast here
