HELICAL'S 25 CHARTERHOUSE SQUARE RECEIVES STAMP OF APPROVAL WITH
12,195 SQFT LETTING TO ANOMALY
-SMITHFIELD LETTING ACHIEVED IN SAME WEEK AS MAJOR REFURBISHMENT
COMPLETED-
Helical plc, one of London's leading property developers, has
agreed its first letting to global marketing agency Anomaly -
www.anomaly.com at its recently completed 38,355 sq ft development
at 25 Charterhouse Square, London EC1.
Anomaly has taken the top two floors comprising 12,195 sq ft
within the newly positioned office building, securing a 10-year
lease at a headline annual rent of GBP75.00 psf.
Anomaly has offices located in Los Angeles, New York City,
Toronto, Amsterdam, Shanghai and London. One of Anomaly's notable
accolades is having recently been voted "Agency of the Year" by
Ad-Age in 2017.
Helical acquired the long leasehold interest of 25 Charterhouse
Square in 2015, where it undertook a major refurbishment under the
design direction of Buckley Gray Yeoman Architects to increase the
size of the building through the addition of a new sixth floor,
including a new core rationalisation and newly modelled entrance
lobby. The scheme provides 38,500 sq ft of high quality and design
infused offices, together with 5,138 sq ft of retail / restaurant
space.
During the building's redevelopment, Charterhouse Square,
situated directly opposite the property, underwent a major
landscaping upgrade, further improving this historic area of
Smithfield, whilst works on the new Elizabeth line and Farringdon
station, located across the road from the building, are due to be
completed in 2018.
Gerald Kaye, CEO of Helical, said: "The letting to Anomaly shows
the strong demand for top quality space in this terrific EC1
location overlooking Charterhouse Square and adjacent to the
Farringdon East Elizabeth line station. It also provides further
evidence of Helical's ability to understand what London's leading
companies want and deliver the right environment for businesses to
thrive in."
Carl Johnson, Founder and Global CEO of Anomaly, said: "Our
business is built on our culture, ethos and talent within the
highly competitive world we live, where the work environment is
especially important - in fact, crucial to our success.
"This wasn't simply about just leasing a building - this was a
strategic move by Anomaly as a declaration of our intent to lead
our creative industry.
"For us, 25 Charterhouse Square is located within the heart of
Smithfield, arguably one of London's greatest historic former
industrial districts, but more recently hosting some of the supreme
companies on the world stage, so we like to think we will feel
right at home here."
Helical's joint letting agents are Knight Frank and Ingleby
Trice, whilst Anomaly was advised by Colliers International.
