Sainsbury’s is relocating its London headquarters to a 68,002 sq ft space at the sustainable JJ Mack Building in Farringdon.
The move marks the end of a two-decade stint at 33 Holborn as the supermarket moves six-minutes down the road to 33 Charterhouse Street in the next two years.
The grocer will share its new building with several companies including private equity firm Partners Group and offshore wind developer Corio Generation, part of the Macquarie Group.

Sainsbury’s chief executive Simon Roberts said: “This is a really exciting opportunity for us to create a modern and sustainable workspace that is better suited to our needs and ways of working as our business continues to evolve.”
He added: “We know that our success depends on our brilliant colleagues and by moving to a more flexible, efficient workspace we can remain committed to maintaining a presence in central London while taking another important step in delivering our save to invest plan, which will enable us to invest where it matters most to our customers.”
Sainsbury’s has been looking to move out of its Holborn home since 2007, when it sought out a new HQ in King’s Cross to “significantly reduce central office costs”.
