July, 9th, 2020 – Acting on behalf of CIT, Colliers International and BNP Paribas Real Estate have secured the South African commercial bank, Nedbank, as a new tenant on the 8,685 sq ft 7th floor of 12 Arthur Street, CIT’s major new refurbishment in the City of London. Nedbank has signed up for a 10-year-lease, with a fifth year tenant-only break option.

The latest deal follows a spate of other lettings on the second, fifth, ninth and tenth floors to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Mindtree, Schillings LLP and Stephens Europe respectively, as well as the first floor recently being placed under offer.
Designed by Morrow + Lorraine, CIT’s refurbishment of 12 Arthur Street includes the creation of a new best in class bicycle, shower and changing facilities alongside high quality contemporary Grade A office space. The building is a short walking distance from many local amenities such as the Bloomberg arcade, The Ned and Borough Market and local transport links including Bank, Monument, Cannon Street and London Bridge stations.

James Walker, Head of City Agency and Occupier Advisory at Colliers International, added: “This signing of Nedbank and completion of the whole refurbishment of 12 Arthur Street is very positive news for the office industry in the capital. It demonstrates that it’s been business as usual for companies and Grade A office space is and will still continue to be a requirement moving forward.”
Philip McKenna, Senior Director of BNP Paribas Real Estate commented: “The addition of Nedbank to the current tenant roster helps to create a very diverse tenant mix which is testament to the quality of the building and its appeal to a broad range of occupiers.”
Stuart Commins, Head of Occupier Services in the City at Colliers International, advised Nedbank throughout the transaction and commented: “As an established brand, Nedbank is committed to the highest standards of governance, integrity and accountability through creating a thriving and productive working environment for customers and their people. 12 Arthur Street compliments those requirements providing a top class quality building for the business to continue its growth.”
