Bezos’s Project Prometheus in Talks for King’s Cross Office Lease

The talks signal London’s pull for AI talent following the startup’s recent $10 billion raise.

Overview

  • Project Prometheus, which reports on Monday say is negotiating a deal, is seeking about 38,000 square feet across three floors at the Jellicoe Building in King’s Cross.
  • The prospective lease remains unfinalized, with terms subject to change according to reports citing people familiar with the talks.
  • The Bezos co-led lab focuses on “physical AI” that learns from machines and lab tests to support work in factories and engineering teams.
  • The expansion follows a reported $10 billion round at about a $38 billion valuation and a hiring push across London, San Francisco, and Zurich.
  • AI peers are also growing in London, with Anthropic leasing 158,000 square feet at One Triton Square and OpenAI taking 88,500 at Regent Quarter, and CBRE projects sector demand could reach 4 million square feet by 2033 from about 1.5 million today.
