GMS Estates has let its 23,500 sq ft Conquest House on John Street, WC1, to Hult International Business School.
The business school has agreed a 15-year lease on the building and will move in once it is completed next year.
Tom Gibbon, director of GMS Estates, said: “Although Conquest House was designed to be split floor-by-floor, we have not needed to. Bloomsbury is a strong market and we had keen interest in taking the building.”
Iain Malcolm, partner at Farebrother, which advised on the letting, added: “Available new or refurbished space in Midtown is at a 10-year low. Conquest House, like Lynton House on Tavistock Square before it, has had little competition in the market, yet it presses all the buttons – innovative design, high-quality workmanship, good floorplates and strong green credentials, even terraces and a garden.”
Darcy Soar advised Hult. The building has been designed by Emrys Architects.
