WeWork has agreed to take 72,000
sq ft across three floors of the Vivo building at the South Bank Central
development.
The new location, which
will be WeWork’s second on the South Bank after Sea Containers House, will
house more than 1,000 new WeWork members.
News of the letting comes
less than a week after Helical announced a 59,000 sq ft pre-let at The Bower
development in Old Street to WeWork, which has 11 currently operating locations
in London.
South Bank Central is being
fully refurbished by its owners, Hermes Investment Management and Canada
Pension Plan Investment Board, to provide 220,000 sq ft of office space.
Property Week revealed last month that the joint
venture had signed up its first tenant at the scheme. Consultant DNV-GL has
taken 35,000 sq ft on a 10-year lease at a rent believed to be around £65/sq
ft.
Stephen Bradley, asset manager at
Hermes Investment Management, said: “Following an extensive period of asset
management, we are pleased that the remodelling of the building has completed
and look forward to announcing further lettings in the near future.”
Union Street Partners and
CBRE acted on behalf of Hermes.
