London鈥檚 office market will weather the Brexit storm and could even attract more Asian occupiers, developers told the MIPIM UK conference.

Tim Roberts, British Land鈥檚 head of offices and residential, told delegates: 鈥淟ondon鈥檚 competitive advantages will endure. We鈥檙e still seeing American occupiers want to be located in London and I鈥檓 not surprised by that.鈥�

Roberts said none of its rivals provided 鈥渨hat London does and so they are still going to locate in London鈥�.

Max Farrell, partner at architect Farrells, agreed: 鈥淎ll the ingredients that make London a world city haven鈥檛 necessarily changed but I think we do need to work harder to attract talent.鈥�

Dan Nicholson, managing director of developer Tishman Speyer UK, predicted an influx of Asian banks.
