Europa Capital, in partnership with Hobart Partners, has pre-let two floors totalling 30,000 sq. feet of its Fetter Yard office scheme to Marriott International on a new 15 year lease to house its Europe Continent office.
The office building at 86 Fetter Lane, EC4, will provide over 100,000 sq. feet of comprehensively refurbished Grade A office accommodation, while meeting the latest occupier requirements. Fetter Yard was acquired by Europa Capital in 2016 for Europa Fund V, in partnership with Hobart Partners, and the investment is in line with its value-add strategy across Europe.
The fully refurbished building will offer a new spacious double fronted reception, which is to include co-working areas, informal and formal meeting facilities, and access to a newly landscaped courtyard for occupiers and the general public to enjoy. Cycle bays, showers and changing facilities will also be provided at basement level. Europa Capital and Hobart are inviting interest in the remaining 65,000 sq. feet of refurbished office space.
James Fortescue, Partner at Europa Capital, commented: “Marriott International’s long-term commitment to this building demonstrates how innovative the new office design will be. We look forward to now repositioning this attractive building, which will provide our future tenants with a modern working environment.”
Sas Bhadra, Partner at Hobart Partners, said: “We are delighted to secure the commitment of Marriott International, who have been a long-standing tenant in the building. The fact that the world’s leading hotelier has committed to our building as their European headquarters, notably prior to their lease expiry date, is a testament to the excellent location and the high-quality product we intend to create.”
