Great Portland Estates has hired Benchmark’s former head of leasing to carry out the same role on the 500,000 sq ft of development it plans to carry out in the West End over the next three years.
Mark Wilder joined Benchmark in 2001 and stayed after its July acquisition by GE Real Estate.
He let 450,000 sq ft of space for Benchmark, including last year’s 60,000 sq ft letting to Yahoo! at its 125 Shaftesbury Avenue, WC1, development with JER Partners.
This week Aegis Media UK, advised by Savills, took the 7,700 sq ft eighth floor for £40 per sq ft.
