Beyond the Blueprint: WiredScore’s Role in Shaping Welcome Building

In the constantly evolving business landscape, digital readiness is a non-negotiable. The need for businesses to have robust, high-speed connectivity and future-ready infrastructure has never been stronger. However, the quality of digital connectivity available in office buildings is neither guaranteed nor consistent. WiredScore certification, the leading global standard of digital connectivity excellence, assesses, benchmarks and promotes the technological prowess and commitment to sustainability of office buildings.

The Welcome Building® holds a leading position in Bristol’s commercial real estate market thanks to its WiredScore Platinum certification, offering a substantial advantage in attracting and retaining the city’s top occupiers.

But in practical terms, what gives a WiredScore Platinum-certified building an edge in the leasing market? Let’s explore the competitive advantage of the Welcome Building® thanks to its certification achievement.

Future-ready design: The certification signals that the building is designed with the demanding technology needs of modern businesses at its heart. It guarantees uninterrupted, high-speed internet access and assured digital resilience–vital in a market where occupiers are more dependent on digital connectivity than ever before.

Attracting high-grade occupiers: WiredScore Platinum certification had a fundamental role in securing early leasing agreements from prominent companies like DAC Beachcroft for the Welcome Building®. It communicates to potential occupiers that the building provides an infrastructure that surpasses the regular standard.

Demonstrating an unwavering commitment to excellence: The WiredScore certification attests to Trammell Crow Company’s dedication to achieving the highest standards. Their pursuit of SmartScore certification underscores their commitment to ESG objectives. This all-electric, energy-efficient building not only caters to business needs, but also aligns with the environmental and social ideals vital to today’s occupiers, promising reduced carbon footprints and operational cost savings.
