Gerald Eve’s West End department has notched up its first deals since welcoming five teams from Deloitte Real Estate.
The firm advised The Food and Drink Federation on its £14.75m sale of 6 Catherine Street, WC2, to Andrew Lloyd-Webber’s The Really Useful Group.
The 10,400 sq ft building, adjacent to The Really Useful Group’s Theatre Royal in Drury Lane – has been acquired with vacant possession.
Gerald Eve also advised Derwent London on letting 3,400 sq ft of offices at 23 Fitzroy Street, W1, to marketing agency Earnest. The company has taken a 10-year-lease at 62.50 per sq ft.
The advisory team also acted on behalf of private landlord clients at 14 Waterloo Place in St James’s, SW1, where Northleaf Capital let 2,800 sq ft of the third floor on a 10-year lease at £84.50 per sq ft.
The remaining floor at 34 Dover Street, W1, has also been let on behalf of private landlord clients.
Thirty-six staff from DRE’s national investment team, West End and City leasing teams, lease advisory and lease exit teams transferred to Gerald Eve earlier this year.
Stephen Peers, partner at Gerald Eve, said: “When you join a new firm, it’s important to get those first deals under your belt and closing these transactions is testament to our smooth transition into Gerald Eve.
