Video game company SEGA has confirmed its plans to move to Chiswick.
The creator of Sonic the Hedgehog will be taking up 21,000 sq ft of space in Building 12 at Chiswick Business Park.
Its current European headquarters on the Great West Road in Brentford has been sold for a major residential development.
The global video gaming company will base its studio and publishing operations in the complex and joins a cluster of companies in the creative industry entertainment sector such as Warner Bros Discovery and Paramount Pictures. Dell also recently took up space in the complex.
Sonic will also now be neighbours with the Pokémon, as Pokemon International Company based nearby.
The office development posted on social media, “Welcome to the Enjoy-Work family Knuckles and Tails! We’re thrilled to have you join Sonic who has already made himself at home and caught a few rings and we promise we won’t tell Dr Eggman you’re here.”
Calum Spence of Revantage Real Estate which manages the office development told BE News, “The demand for workspace we are continuing to see at Chiswick Park illustrates the very clear trend of a flight to quality among the occupier community and the insistence for highly sustainable, accessible workspace which places the well-being and performance of staff at its heart.”
