Derwent London secures Gresse Street pre-let 
Derwent London has secured a 13,093 sq ft (1,216 sq m) pre-let at the Charlotte 
Building, 17 Gresse Street, London, W1 to Unanimis Consulting Limited 
("Unanimis"), one of London's largest digital advertising networks. 
Unanimis will take the top two floors of the seven-storey, 47,000 sq ft (4,400 
sq m) Charlotte Building on a 10-year lease at GBP578,451 per annum. 
The rent on the sixth floor is GBP45 per sq ft (GBP484 per sq m) and GBP43.50 
per sq ft (GBP468 per sq m) on the fifth floor. These levels are in line with 
the June valuation. The tenant has an option to break in December 2013. An 
initial rent free period equivalent to 12 months rent was granted with an 
additional 10 months if the break is not exercised. 
The letting is in advance of the property's launch at the end of the month and 
the remaining five floors of this new contemporary building, set around a 
landscaped courtyard, are attracting letting interest. 
The Charlotte Building together with properties in nearby Fitzrovia, are in a 
strategically important area of the West End for Derwent London, where its 
holdings total over one million sq ft.. Future plans include the refurbishment 
and redevelopment of existing buildings and investment in local services to 
regenerate this improving London village. 
John Burns, Chief Executive, Derwent London, said: 
"We are pleased to have achieved a pre-let in the Charlotte Building to 
Unanimis, part of Orange France Telecom. They are existing tenants of the group 
occupying 7,400 sq ft (690 sq m) in a nearby property, whose lease was due to 
expire at the end of the year. We are delighted that they have decided the 
Charlotte Building meets their expansion requirements. This is also a further 
step in Derwent London's programme to rejuvenate its buildings to create 
desirable spaces in which to live and work."
