“Property is in my blood. After graduating, I joined DTZ in Leeds in 1994, before moving to JLL four years later and leaving as director in 2006. “This is a tremendously exciting
opportunity and challenge for me. Having been with the Ogden Group for nearly 12 years, I know the company, our ethos and our developments extremely well”.
“Despite fears that Brexit would disrupt the property market, the sector is proving remarkably resilient. We will continue to look at investment and development opportunities across Yorkshire and the north of England. “We also have a presence in London’s Docklands and the City and are looking at other opportunities in these markets,” said Justin.
He added: “This is a great time to be stepping up. I look forward to working with all of the many contacts I have made within the Yorkshire property industry over the past 20 years to ensure that the Ogden Group remains one of the leading property development companies in the north in the coming years.”

The announcement builds on further lettings success at One Creechurch Place with lettings totalling 54,315 sq.ft to Dell Corporation and Enstar, meaning 69% of the building is now occupied with a further 5% under offer.
Lettings across both buildings are further evidence of the robust demand for Helical’s market-leading office developments from a diverse occupier base, all achieved at competitive market rents.
Gerald Kaye, CEO of Helical, said: “Securing these impressive tenants at Charterhouse Square, and within such a short timeframe, demonstrates clearly that appetite for high-quality, well-located office space in London is as robust as ever. Having taken the decision to invest heavily in the building and back the wider EC1 vision, it’s exciting to see the progress that has been made, vindicating our strategy of creating design-led London offices where people want to work alongside other dynamic and exciting businesses. This is yet another example of our team creating a flexible, multi-let environment which reflects a proven formula achieved across our portfolio. “These latest lettings at One Creechurch Place are a fantastic achievement by all involved and demonstrate that, despite some initial impact following the EU referendum and ongoing Brexit negotiations, for the best-located and highest-quality office developments, the draw of London to global occupiers remains strong. Situated adjacent to the new public realm and green spaces of Mitre Square and Aldgate Square, we are optimistic about letting the remaining space during 2018”
