AshbyCapital and Exemplar have prelet of the top three floors of the Avenue, WC1, to travel technology company Skyscanner.
The company has taken 24,000 at the scheme, which is located on the corner of Bedford Avenue and Tottenham Court Road.
The Avenue, which provides 71,000 sq ft of office space and 14,000 sq ft of retail space, will complete in March.
The building is close to the Tottenham Court Road Crossrail station and to other regeneration schemes in the area including the £40m West End Project, which is currently underway.
The West End Project includes the creation of a new car-free boulevard down Tottenham Court Road, wider footpaths, a new pocket park directly outside The Avenue, and a major new park immediately behind Tottenham Court Road station at Alfred Place.
Following the letting to Skyscanner, 47,000 sq ft remains at the building, which is being marketed by joint agents CBRE and Savills.
Michael Bucknell, development director at Exemplar, said: “We invest in the design and quality of our buildings to attract occupiers of Skyscanner’s calibre. The quality of the building, together with the arrival of Crossrail and the West End Project improvements, has generated an increasing level of interest from occupiers.”
Peter Ferrari, chief executive of AshbyCapital, said: “The appeal of the Avenue is clear: this is a new building in an area set to become the heart of London’s West End. With bars, restaurants and shopping, as well as strong and improving transport connections, this is a fantastic location for business.”
