Catella APAM, a prominent UK & Ireland-based real estate asset and investment manager, has announced the successful completion of two new lettings at One Finsbury Square, a prime office building in Central London. Executed on behalf of Danish client Britannia Invest A/S, these lettings have brought the building to full occupancy.
Britannia Invest A/S is a long-term investor in the UK real estate market in regional and city office buildings. Catella APAM has worked with Britannia Invest A/S since 2016, providing asset, property and facilities management services, as well as investment advisory and development management through Catella APAM’s subsidiary Bankfoot APAM.
UBT Accountants, who already occupy the building’s 5th floor, have now let the entirety of the 7th floor. Meanwhile, global market-maker Old Mission Europe has secured the 4th floor, joining the impressive roster of tenants at One Finsbury Square.
William Grenfell, Associate Director at Catella APAM, said “Having completed the 5th floor letting to UBT Accountants, as well as a 6th floor letting to analytics company FICO, in November 2023, these two new lettings mean we have now achieved full occupancy at One Finsbury Square. The strong demand for space in the building is testament to its exceptional quality and strategic location.”
Facilitated by Knight Frank and Squarebrook, these new lettings mark the culmination of a successful leasing campaign. With its strategic position near Finsbury Square and a host of nearby attractions including the renowned Montcalm Hotel, Aviary restaurant, Flight Club Shoreditch, and Barry’s Bootcamp, One Finsbury Square continues to be a sought-after destination for businesses seeking top-tier office space in London.
Katie White, a leasing agent at Knight Frank, commented, “The strong demand and competition on the final vacant floor was a testament to the quality fitted floor template situated within a core market. Active demand continues to remain strong for good quality, newly fitted space.”
Zara Bailey, a leasing agent at Squarebrook, said, “It has been a pleasure working with Catella APAM on One Finsbury Square’s most recent deals. This quick succession of lettings achieved over the 4th to 7th floors is reflective of the quality and demand for office space in this prime City location.”
