easyJet plc has taken an assignment of the entirety of 800 The Boulevard, Capability Green as part of the continued expansion of its Luton estate centred on operations at the airport.

800 The Boulevard provides a prominent Grade A headquarters office building arranged on ground and two upper floors totalling 52,752 sq ft. easyJet has commenced an extensive refurbishment programme which will deliver modern agile workspace for a number of business functions, including the new head office of easyJet Holidays business.

easyJet achieved a record performance during summer 2023, despite high fuel costs and the challenges arising from the external operational environment, which resulted in a pre-tax headline profit of £455 million for the 2023 financial year, an improvement of £633m year on year.

Christopher Murphy, Head of Property & ID, easyJet plc, said: “We are delighted to have secured 800 The Boulevard to be the new head office of easyJet Holidays and provide a state of the art Operations Centre for our Airlines. The building will provide best in class office space for our colleagues that meet our growing priority for high quality, collaborative and amenity rich workplaces.”

Tom Harker, Director, Office Advisory at Lambert Smith Hampton, adds: “easyJet is a major occupier in Luton and we are pleased to play a role in its continued growth. Our extensive regional footprint means that we are in a position to provide hyper-local market knowledge to our clients, enabling us to identify the best opportunities for their occupational needs”.
