VIRGIN ATLANTIC CHOOSES NEW HEAD OFFICE

Airline giant Virgin Atlantic has signed a deal to lease the whole of Abstract’s 110,000 sq ft Leonardo development in Manor Royal, just south of Gatwick Airport.

The deal - one of the biggest in the South East office market this year - follows Virgin Atlantic’s return to profit in 2014 and represents a major letting coup for Abstract, which only started building the speculative office scheme in late 2014.
