International law firm SJ Berwin has advised long standing client British Land and its joint venture partner Oxford Properties on the further letting of The Leadenhall Building to Amlin Plc.

The agreement for lease with Amlin is in respect of 111,000 sq ft of space on levels 18 -24 and level 45 of the 47-storey building with options to take up further space totalling up to 36,760 sq ft. Up until September 2013 Amlin also has the option to choose not to take up a lease on level 18, which would reduce the base take to 95,000 sq ft.

Designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners, the 736 ft (224m) building is one of the tallest and most iconic buildings in the Square Mile occupying a prominent City site directly opposite Lloyd's of London. It is due for completion in 2014. The 47 storey, 610,000 sq ft office tower is now 51% pre-let.

Bryan Pickup, International Head of Real Estate at SJ Berwin, said: “We are delighted to have completed such a significant letting for our clients British Land and Oxford Properties in London’s iconic Leadenhall Building.”

The transaction was led by Real Estate partners Bryan Pickup and Pat Jones and assisted by senior associate Patrick Williams.
