Having previously acted for the private investor who sold 71 Queen Victoria Street in April of last year for a sum in excess of £200million, Taylor Wessing have subsequently been retained by the buyers, the Singaporean based Pacific Eagle Group, to act in securing the disposal of the last remaining vacant space in the building.

Led by Real Estate partner Keith Barnett and senior associate Hanna Ross, Taylor Wessing negotiated new lease terms with HSBC who will create a new city corporate headquarters within the prestigious sixth floor of the building. The conclusion of the letting means that 71 Queen Victoria Street is now fully let.

In addition to HSBC, it houses law firm Wedlake Bell, accountancy firm Saffery Champness, tech company Funding Circle and a brand new Virgin Active Health Club.
