The Blade Tops BREEAM Rating in Berkshire
The Blade has been awarded the highest BREEAM rating for any Berkshire office building*, recognising our unique blend of sustainable design and eco credentials. As well as achieving top recognition in the region, The Blade has also been listed in BREEAM’s top 20 buildings across the whole of the UK, placing 13th for the BREEAM In-use International Commercial V6 Part 2 Management Performance scheme.

BBC Election Special Broadcast from The Blade
Last month we were approached by the BBC who were planning to host a number of election special broadcasts across the country. The production team were on the look out for iconic, inspiring and eye catching venues. And for the Berkshire debate they chose The Blade, given our impressive presence and reputation! On Monday 1st July we welcomed the BBC Radio Berkshire team and four of Reading Central’s candidates for an hour long live discussion.

The Blade in Numbers
The Blade is big. Almost everything about it screams scale. You can’t be the tallest building in a town or city without setting a few records along the way or having some eye watering stats in terms of stairs and lifts for example - and we know! In order to write this article, we’ve walked every step, opened every door, counted every window and been from the very bottom of the building to the very top, several times. It genuinely is eye watering (and breath taking) – especially counting the stairs! So, we know it’s big.
