British Land – 10 Exchange Square

Challenge Overview

British Land needed to provide high-speed fibre connectivity for their new tenant, a leading American bank moving into the 8th floor at 10 Exchange Square. With the tenant’s move-in date fast approaching, there wasn’t time to pursue traditional wayleave agreements, which are essential for legal permissions in commercial buildings but can be time-consuming and costly. These wayleave agreements typically require multiple stakeholders and legal approvals, causing delays in fibre installations in London and beyond.

The Zetta Solution

Zetta Connect, a trusted partner for commercial building fibre connectivity solutions, stepped in to design, build, and manage the fibre network infrastructure. We installed new fibre tubing up the riser to the 8th floor, ran an 8-core armoured longline directly to the tenant’s comms cabinet, and prepared to cross-connect the tenant circuits once delivered. By bypassing the wayleave bottlenecks, we were able to deliver the project from initial enquiry to full completion within just a month, just a fraction of the typical timeline for fibre installations in London.

Our proactive approach didn’t just deliver reliable fibre connectivity for the tenant. It also future-proofed the building for other tenants by adding flexible fibre tubing infrastructure that can support future services. This ensures that 10 Exchange Square can offer high-speed, robust connectivity to current and future tenants.

The Result

With Zetta Connect’s expertise in fibre installation services for commercial buildings, British Land was able to meet the tenant’s demanding timeline and connectivity requirements. Our wayleave-free fibre installation not only saved time and money but also enhanced the value of the building for years to come. The American bank can now move in with confidence, knowing they have secure and scalable connectivity from day one.

Zetta Connect are without doubt experts in their field and that is apparent from the off. Connectivity within multi-let office buildings remains an essential topic in commercial property but the language and requirements are at times very technical in nature. Therefore, as a property manager, it is invaluable having a consultant who is very approachable that can distil these matters into very straightforward advice that can be relayed to landlords and tenants alike – they make life much easier!
