US law firm Vinson & Elkins has completed a letting for the 24th floor of Land Securities’ and Canary Wharf Group’s Walkie Talkie tower at 20 Fenchurch Street, EC3, taking the building to 90% let.
Quoting rents for the 24,000 sq ft floor were around £70 per sq ft.
Vinson & Elkins has signed a 20-year lease and is the second law firm to take space in the building after DWF signed earlier this year.
Just three floors remain vacant in the building – the third and fourth floors and the 34th, which is not yet available because of the ongoing construction of the building’s sky garden.
Land Securities’ head of commercial, Kaela Fenn-Smith, said: “20 Fenchurch Street was designed and built with our occupiers always in mind, and we believe that’s why we’re continuing to attract a diverse and world-class tenant mix.”
Richard Archer, head of leasing at Canary Wharf Group, added: “We are delighted that 20 Fenchurch Street continues to be so popular with tenants and to have such momentum as we come to lease the final few floors is fantastic.”
LS and CWG were advised by Knight Frank and CBRE; V&E was advised by Savills.
