Pentonville Road, London N1

Derwent London plc ("Derwent London" / "the Group") is pleased to announce that it has let 47,700 sq ft (4,430m(2) ) of office space at 10-4 Pentonville Road, London N1 to Ticketmaster UK.

Ticketmaster will occupy the whole of 4 Pentonville Road and the upper five floors of 10 Pentonville Road under a 12-year lease with no breaks. The tenant will pay GBP1.9 million per annum at this seven floor building, based on GBP45 per sq ft (GBP484 per m(2) ) on the top floor and GBP42.50 per sq ft (GBP457 per m(2) ) on a typical mid-level floor, with a rent free period of 30 months. There are upward-only rent reviews after five and ten years, with a minimum uplift to GBP2.0 million after five years.

10-4 Pentonville Road is situated in Islington opposite Derwent London's award winning Angel Building. The regeneration of the building has recently been completed, unifying the façade of two former 1980s buildings to create 55,000 sq ft (5,110m(2) ) of offices, which represents more than 20% uplift in floor area.

John Burns, Chief Executive Officer of Derwent London, said:

"We are pleased to welcome Ticketmaster to our newly regenerated offices at 10-4 Pentonville Road, another leading business taking space in this rapidly improving, vibrant location."
