The numbers behind Canary Wharf’s Morgan Stanley deals

Canary Wharf Group has given fresh details of the deals struck with US investment bank Morgan Stanley when it agreed to keep its EMEA headquarters on the Docklands estate – including the size of the surrender premium on one of its other offices.

Morgan Stanley re-signed a lease for 20 Bank Street, E14, earlier this month. The new lease will run until 2038.

On a webinar to present the company’s latest financial results, chief financial officer Becky Worthington said the agreement had not included any rent-free period but offered a timeline for the landlord’s £150m contribution to the cost of refurbishing the building for Morgan Stanley.

Of that total, £75m has already been paid, Worthington said, with the remaining £75m due to be paid in April 2025.

Worthington added that CWG and Morgan Stanley had also agreed a £27.5m surrender on the bank’s space at 15 Westferry Circus, E14.
