Electronic liquidity provider XTX Markets is moving its London headquarters to Argent’s King’s Cross, N1, scheme.
The King’s Cross Central Limited Partnership has agreed a lease with XTX Markets on 28,208 sq ft – three floors – at the Duggan Morris-designed R7 building on Handyside Street.
R7 is now fully let ahead of completion in July 2017.
Will Colthorpe, partner at Argent, said: “R7 is now substantially let well ahead of completion. It demonstrates the broad appeal of the site, which is continuing to draw a diverse range of tenants away from core West End locations.”
Barney Lewis, partner at Allsop, which acted for XTX Markets, said: “R7 was selected as the building that best suits XTX’s needs.’’
The next King’s Cross office space to be launched on the leasing market is in two new buildings in the “T-Zone” on Canal Reach: 235,888 sq ft in T2, and 170,310 sq ft in T3.
Savills and Cushman & Wakefield acted for KCCLP.
