Slaughter and May is advising Derwent London - pre-letting of The White Chapel Building, E1

Slaughter and May is advising Derwent London on four pre-lets of The White Chapel Building, London E1. The pre-lets comprise 84,600 sq. ft. with a total annual rent of £4 million. Derwent London is currently undertaking refurbishment works following its acquisition of the building in 2015, on which we also advised.

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

"We are very pleased to introduce four new occupiers to our portfolio, three of which signed leases after the EU referendum. Their broad spread of activities and commitment is an endorsement of our strategy of creating a mid-market rental product in this significantly improved area on the eastern side of the City and the Tech Belt."
