Finance firm Evercore has pre-let 135,000 sq ft across five floors of BGO’s 105 Victoria Street office scheme in London for its new HQ.
The firm is moving from its current home in Mayfair to the 445,000 sq ft, fully electric, net zero carbon office development.
BGO is targeting BREEAM Outstanding, EPC A and WELL Platinum ratings for the building, which features 25,000 sq ft of green space and terracing, including a 200m ‘walk and talk’ track for on-the-move meetings and an urban farm.
Designed by architect Kohn Pederson Fox and interior architect Henning Larsen, the building is currently being built by Skanska with completion expected in summer 2026.
Alexander Morris, managing director at BGO, said: “Our team is committed to providing premium workspace for the next generation of occupiers, who expect strong sustainability credentials and top-tier facilities as standard. Beyond this, it was crucial to us to partner with occupiers aligned with our environmental, wellbeing and social sustainability strategies, which have been the guiding principles of this development. We’re looking forward to welcoming our first occupier to 105 Victoria Street in 2026 to continue the work we have carried out in the Victoria community over the past five years of development.”
Chris Valentine, head of Central London office leasing at JLL, added: “We’ve seen a marked increase in pre-lets over the past two years and we expect this to continue to grow as occupiers seek space that delivers a first-rate experience for their team and clients, aligned with their ESG targets. This major pre-let two years ahead of completion is evidence of this growing demand, and with 310,000 sq ft remaining at 105 Victoria Street in a highly constrained market for supply, we are highly confident of further pre-lets.”
