Global law firm Faegre Drinker has taken approximately 14,500 sq ft on a 10-year lease at Mitsubishi Estate London and Stanhope’s 8 Bishopsgate in the City of London.
The deal is the latest in a series of lettings at the development. CITIC CLSA signed a 15-year lease on circa 16,000 sq ft earlier this month, while in January, global reinsurance provider SCOR took approximately 50,000 sq ft over two and a half floors, AEW signed a 10-year lease for 8,540 sq ft, BancTrust & Co took 8,250 sq ft on a 10-year lease and Helios Towers signed for 12,000 sq ft on Level 21 on a 10-year lease. In December, insurance company CFC signed for 90,000 sq ft at the building.
Shinichi Kagitomi, managing director of Mitsubishi Estate London, said: “Faegre Drinker will join an existing roster of top tier legal and professional services occupiers who have chosen 8 Bishopsgate as their home and we look forward to playing our part in their continued success.”
David Camp, chief executive of Stanhope, added: “This collaboration underscores Stanhope’s dedication to creating environments that support innovation and business growth. We believe that 8 Bishopsgate’s cutting-edge design and carefully considered location will provide Faegre Drinker with an ideal setting for their continued success.”
