Great Portland Estates

Great Portland Estates plc (LON:GPE) continues to strengthen its position as a landlord of choice for AI-powered businesses by announcing that Vanta, the leading agentic trust platform, has upsized its workspace by nearly 50% at Kent House, W1.

Vanta has expanded its Fully Managed workspace from 7,500 sq ft to over 11,000 sq ft in the heart of the West End. AI-led customers now represent 10.5% of GPE’s total office portfolio, or 22.9% of its Fully Managed offering.

Fresh from a major refurbishment, Kent House delivers 59,300 sq ft of premium workspace, complete with an outdoor rooftop terrace, generous amenities, and a design tailored for modern, high‑growth teams.

Recent analysis highlights that AI already contributes £3.7 billion to the UK economy, with London cementing its status as the world’s leading hub for AI scale‑ups. By 2040, 1.3 million UK businesses are expected to integrate AI into their operations*.

Molly Maguire, Flex Leasing Manager at GPE, said: “We’re thrilled to continue supporting Vanta’s impressive growth trajectory at Kent House. Their expansion underscores both the strength of the AI sector and the value of our premium, Fully Managed workspaces. Customers like Vanta choose us because we give them the flexibility, quality and service to scale at pace.”
