The legal firm will pay an initial rent of £77.00 per square foot, assuming no space is handed back, and will benefit from 38 months' rent free over the 15 year terms, with a further three months' rent free if the leases are not broken.
GPE has already commenced demolition of the existing building and has now committed to deliver the development by entering into a building contract with Lendlease, with completion anticipated in December 2025.
