Thomson Reuters has awarded CBRE a contract to manage its EMEA portfolio.
The financial information giant occupies more than 129 buildings in 55 countries spanning close to 2.9m sq ft.
The facilities management contract establishes a new relationship for CBRE with Thomson Reuters.
It follows the agent’s £265.5m all-cash takeover of Norland Managed Services last October.
The takeover significantly increased CBRE’s outsourcing and FM capabilities, allowing it to better compete for the largest global mandates.
The latest contract win will see CBRE take over management of Thomson Reuters’ 283,000 sq ft UK headquarters at 30 South Colonnade, E14.
The media company was originally founded in Toronto but its global headquarters is in New York at the 855,000 sq ft skyscraper 3 Times Square.
It also occupies multiple buildings in the City fringe area and has repeatedly considered a wholesale move of its London operations into a single new headquarters building of as much as 700,000 sq ft.
Canary Wharf’s Wood Wharf scheme and Derwent London’s White Collar Factory have long been considered the most likely.
