Banking HQ confirmed for Milton Keynes

Contractor John Sisk & Son and developer Osborne+Co have announced the signing of a contract for the construction of a new state-of-the-art campus for Santander in Milton Keynes.

The new office, which represents an investment of £150M in the town, will be home to over 6,000 employees and will bring together staff from the bank’s existing local office buildings into one location.

The office is an environmentally sustainable building designed to achieve a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating and WELL ‘Gold’ Certification, a measure of the building’s impact on health and wellbeing of its occupants.

Ajaz Shafi, Director, UK South, John Sisk & Son said: “We are delighted to be appointed by Osborne+Co to deliver the Santander Technology Hub in Milton Keynes. This is a landmark project comprising ultra-modern office space constructed over an expansive double basement, which will benefit Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas enormously.”

Sisk will begin construction on site immediately with the programme to last 30 months. The new head office site is due to open by the autumn of 2022.
