The building is now fully let across its
office, residential and hospitality elements, following pre-leases to Grange
Hotels, a luxury serviced apartment provider, as well as Drake & Morgan,
Hush Brasserie and a boulangerie which have taken the restaurant space.
Genesis, part of the Technip Group, has
agreed a 15 year lease for six storeys of bespoke office space. It will take
possession upon handover of the building works during the summer of 2013, with
the aim of moving its headquarters from Midtown in the autumn.
Harry Badham at AXA Real Estate said, “The
letting to Genesis marks the successful conclusion of a two year plan to
reposition this building into a prime mixed used scheme.
"It is entirely in line with AXA Real
Estate’s strategy of creating value for its investors by leveraging its
development experience to create an institutional quality asset. This letting
also reinforces the diversity of the City of London in attracting new types of
occupiers, a trend we are confident will continue.”
MD of Genesis, John Cambridge, said, “The new
headquarters will accommodate all of our London staff in one building and has
the flexibility to meet our anticipated growth. The flagship headquarters, in
the area of St. Paul's Cathedral in central London, is a confident statement of
intent for the future of our company.”
