Global investment firm Vanguard has leased an additional floor at Barings’ 180,000 sq ft Landmark office development on St Peter’s Square in Manchester city centre.
In March last year, Vanguard announced it had signed a 10-year lease on the 14,013 sq ft seventh floor of the building for its first office outside of London.
The investment firm has now signed for the 14,041 sq ft sixth floor taking its total space in the building to more than 28,000 sq ft. Only the fourth floor of the building, comprising 14,058 sq ft, is now available to let.
Ian Mayhew, managing director, UK asset management at Barings, said: “For a global investment firm such as Vanguard to select Manchester as its first UK office outside of London and then be doubling its space just over 12 months later is fantastic news on many levels. We are delighted that our provision at Landmark has created the right environment for growth and it is exciting to see an occupier flourish within the building. With keen interest in the remaining floor, we are looking forward to achieving full occupation of Landmark.”
JLL, CBRE and Colliers are letting agents at Landmark. Vanguard was advised by JLL.
