Global reinsurance provider SCOR has taken approximately 50,000 sq ft over two and a half floors at Stanhope and Mitsubishi Estate London’s 8 Bishopsgate office development in London.
The letting comes hot on the heels of insurance company CFC signing for 90,000 sq ft at the building, which is located at 85 Gracechurch Street in the City, taking the total amount of space let at the building to around 360,000 sq ft.
Thierry Léger, CEO of SCOR, said: “SCOR is delighted to announce the relocation of our London office to 8 Bishopsgate, where our team will be joining a vibrant community of industry players. This move reflects our commitment to fostering collaboration among our teams as employees will now be brought together in one building. It also aligns with our dedication to sustainability, as we strive to create a greener and more efficient work environment for our people and a more welcoming space for our partners.”
Shinichi Kagitomi, managing director of Mitsubishi Estate London, added: “As we welcome yet another occupier to 8 Bishopsgate, the building continues to cement its position as one of London’s flagship workplaces which meets all of the environmental, technological and high-amenity needs required of today’s premium office schemes.”
David Camp, chief executive of Stanhope, said: “The decision of SCOR to make 8 Bishopsgate their new London headquarters is a testament to the enduring appeal of our iconic building. We are excited to welcome them and provide a workspace that meets their high standards. This move further solidifies 8 Bishopsgate’s position as a premier business address within the City of London.”
