Cityoffices London report

A new report from Cityoffices and Metropolis looks ahead at the London office market in 2012. Amongst its conclusions are that the trend towards refurbishments in central London will continue, with dozens of office revamp schemes lined up to go ahead this year, including 1 Threadneedle Street, 36 Queen Street and 51 Eastcheap. 2011 saw 50 new development starts, of which over 70% of these were refurbishments. - (10-02-2012)

April figures show slowing

Total office take-up in central London in April fell back to 600,000 sq ft, from an average of over 1m sq ft in the first 3 months of the year, according to figures from Metroinfo. Lettings of new office space held up well at 220,000 sq ft. But a shortage of secondhand and west end deals in the run-up to the election had an impact. - (10-06-2010)

Office lettings continue surge

Office lettings in central London in January 2010 topped 1.2m sq ft, according to figures from Cityoffices and Metroinfo. Some 60 deals over 5,000 sq ft were signed, including two large deals to Macquarie Bank and Blackrock. The insurance sector was particularly active. Over half (600,000 sq ft) of the office space let was recently completed, further shrinking the availability of new office floorspace. Rents edged higher. - (24-02-2010)
