More lettings at the Cheesegrater as new TSB owner Banco Sabadell takes two floors

British Land and Oxford Properties, the developers behind the Cheesegrater (aka Leadenhall Building), confirmed three new lettings across seven floors of the building – including new TSB owner Banco Sabadell.

Among the new signings are insurance giant Brit, which has signed a 15 year lease to occupy 66,300 sq ft across five storeys – 16 to 18, and 39 to 40, and Kames Capital, which has taken a 12-year lease for 13,300 sq ft on level 26.

Meanwhile, Banco Sabadell, which in March bought TSB from Lloyds for £1.7bn, signed a 10-year lease on levels 37 and 38, giving it 18,100 sq ft. 

The building, which smashed office rent records back in October when US-based insurance firm FM global took 7,700 sq ft on the 41st floor for £85 per sq ft, is now 84 per cent let or under offer, its developers said. 

However, in January the building was cordoned off to pedestrians after a bolt fell to the ground – the third to have snapped in two months.
