Clearbell Capital has let 6,941 sq ft to Curzon in the Kodak Building in London’s Covent Garden.
Originally constructed in 1911 for photography brand Kodak, the Grade II listed building was London’s first purpose-built, open-plan office block, complete with ancillary labs and photographic rooms.
The building has recently undergone an extensive redevelopment and repositioning by Clearbell and now comprises 70,000 sq ft of Grade A office accommodation set over eight storeys.
The building has received an EPC A rating and BREEAM Excellent and is targeting WELL Gold certification.
Alice Murray, head of asset management and sustainability at Clearbell Capital, said: “The Kodak Building stands as a symbol of London’s architectural legacy, meticulously restored to offer a blend of historical charm and contemporary sustainability and amenity, setting a new standard for office environments.
“We are delighted to welcome Curzon to their new space. Their decision to relocate reflects the building’s appeal as a high-quality workspace in Central London. We look forward to seeing their continued growth and make the most of the unique environment created here.”
Clearbell was represented by Farebrother and Knight Frank.
