巴林银行, one of the world’s largest diversified real estate investment managers, has accommodated the growth of global investment firm 先锋 with the leasing of an additional 地板上 at its Landmark office development on St Peter’s Square in Manchester City Centre. The latest deal leaves just one 地板上 available for occupation within the 180,000 sq ft flagship office building.
2023年3月, 先锋 announced its plans to expand its UK footprint with the opening of an office in Manchester, having agreed a 10-year lease for the 14,013平方英尺, 7th 地板上 at 巴林银行’ Landmark office development. The move represented the first UK office outside of London for 先锋, which has more than 1000 staff working across its European offices.
Approximately one year after announcing its entry into Manchester, 先锋 has agreed a lease for the 14,041平方英尺th 地板上 to tie in with their 10 year term on the 7th 地板上, taking its total space at Landmark to over 28,000 sq ft.
Citing Manchester’s strong talent pool as a key driver for selection in the initial search, the city has become one of 先锋’s fastest growing markets and provides an excellent base for accommodating extra capacity to serve its wider European business.
The news follows the recent announcement that 巴林银行 has leased the 13,228 sq ft 12th 地板上 at Landmark to international law firm, DAC Beachcroft who is relocating from 3 Hardman Square in Spinningfields.
只有4个th 地板上, 包括14,058平方英尺, is available for occupation in Landmark, whose impressive tenant roster includes; HSBC UK, 摩根大通 & Co, 安联保险, 均富, 仲量联行, DAC Beachcroft, 先锋, 燕八哥银行, 桑坦德银行英国, RSM和Xero. 巴林银行 credits the securing of multiple global occupiers to Landmark’s technological infrastructure, 可持续性, well-being and customer experience which have proven to be high on occupier criteria.
Key features at Landmark include contactless technologies enabling touch-free movement within the building, a dedicated cycle storage and maintenance hub, high-quality showers and changing facilities, electric car charging spaces and Amazon lockers for package delivery and returns which all add to the offering at the EPC A, BREEAM Excellent and Wired Score Platinum development.
伊恩·梅休, 董事总经理, UK Asset management at 巴林银行, said: “For a global investment firm such as 先锋 to select Manchester as its first UK office outside of London and then be doubling its space just over 12 months later is fantastic news on many levels. We are delighted that our provision at Landmark has created the right environment for growth and it is exciting to see an occupier flourish within the building. With keen interest in the remaining 地板上, we are looking forward to achieving full occupation of Landmark.”
