The wholly owned subsidiary of global bank Banco Santander has signed an 11-year lease on the eighth floor. Xero UK recently signed for the thirteenth floor of the 180,000 sq ft BREEAM Excellent rated building and RSM UK took the ninth floor.
Ian Mayhew, managing director, UK asset management at Barings, said: “Santander UK is a welcome addition to our occupier base at Landmark and we are looking forward to the team becoming operational in their new office. We have invested heavily in our occupier experience and the building’s environmental and technological credentials and we are pleased this is being recognised.
“We are delighted to have secured over 40,000 sq ft of new lettings at Landmark in Q4 2022 alone. We have strong interest in the remaining last floors and look forward to making further announcements in due course.”
Dan Margolis, senior surveyor in Colliers’ national offices team, who represented Santander UK on the letting, added: “The award-winning Landmark is an exceptional workplace in Manchester’s premier business district and every detail from health and wellbeing, customer experience, digital connectivity to the environment has been considered. This, coupled with being located in the same building as other global occupiers will create an excellent working environment for the Santander UK team.”
