Over 300,000 sq ft of office lettings secured at Broadgate Circle

British Land has signed a further three leases for office space at Broadgate.

Totalling 303,000 sq ft across 135 Bishopsgate and 1FA, the lettings are to global advertising giant, McCann Worldgroup UK; TP ICAP, an interdealer broker, which is moving from its current home at 1-2 Broadgate; and Mimecast, a cybersecurity company, which is taking additional space at 1FA.

In the last 12 months, British Land has transformed the profile of Broadgate’s occupier base with a raft of new customers across its retail, leisure and office space.

These include Italian marketplace Eataly’s first UK location, boutique cinema operator Everyman, tech and creative businesses Onfido, Tessian, Neyber and Publica.

Mark Lund, CEO of McCann Worldgroup UK, said: “We’re delighted to be bringing the McCann Worldgroup UK family together under one roof.

“Our stunning new London home at Bishopsgate will provide us with the opportunity to grow individually and as a network, while the building’s location at the intersection of Shoreditch, Spitalfields and The City will connect us to some of the most important creative, tech and historic hubs that London has to offer.”

British Land is said to be seeing demand from a wider mix of occupiers at Broadgate as the campus continues to evolve.

Tim Roberts, head of offices at British Land, added: “McCann Worldgroup UK is a highly successful and renowned global business, underpinned by its creativity.

“Alongside TP ICAP’s decision to remain at the campus and Mimecast’s take up of additional space of 1FA, McCann Worldgroup UK’s move to Broadgate is a firm endorsement of the vibrant campus environment we are creating here for all types of occupier - high quality workspaces in a terrific location, surrounded by some of London’s best talent and with an eclectic choice of places to spend time throughout the day and into the evening.

“With over 50 per cent let or under offer, I am pleased to say that both the quality of our developments at Broadgate and our campus strategy are striking a chord with our customers. We are seeing encouraging levels of interest, especially in the 90,000 sq ft of retail space which we have recently started to market at 100 Liverpool Street.”
