Life aims to make your office building an even better place to work, by helping tenants, building staff, and local businesses connect.
Our community app
Our Life by CEG app joins the dots between work and life. Helping you, your team, and local businesses connect.
The app allows you to unlock the potential of your building, connect with people, report an issue, book meeting rooms and gym classes and discover local deals and discount codes.
Tailored events programme
Life is not all about work, so we have lovingly styled and created a series of events just for our tenants.
Our events aim to create a strong community feel in and out of your building. This means coming together to learn new skills or start a new healthy journey with your neighbours.
In-house at every step
Unlike other landlords, we have the internal expertise and choose to manage every detail of our buildings. This includes front of house, facilities management, and all health and safety aspects. In our experience, this works better for our customers.
Café partnership
We partner with local café operators to provide our tenants with affordable healthy meals, coffees and treats.
CEG look to subsidise meal deals in conjunction with the community app, ensuring we support our tenants daily.
