London recruitment agency moves into historic ITV centre

A London recruitment agency has announced that it is moving into a new space in the historic ITV centre on the banks of the Thames.

Annapurna has confirmed that it will be taking around 6,000 sq ft on level nine of the 25-storey office building, which forms part of the historic ITV London Television Centre that fronts onto the River Thames and the Thames River Walk on the South Bank between Waterloo Bridge and Blackfriars Bridge.

CO—RE, which owns the building with Mitsubishi Estate, has secured the tenant until at least June 2021 with rolling break clauses thereafter, to facilitate the future redevelopment of the site.

The deal is CO—RE and Mitsubishi Estate’s first new letting at the 2.5-acre site since the outbreak of COVID-19.

Bradley Baker, director of CO—RE, commented: “This letting to Annapurna is a very positive start to our short-term flexible leasing initiative and is illustrative of the attraction of the site’s peerless riverside location.”

Yuichiro Shioda, managing director of Mitsubishi Estate London, added: “Although we have an ambitious long-term vision for the scheme, our management of the building in the near-term is no less important.

“As such, this recent letting is a significant step and a positive start to our relationship with CO—RE and our wider development plans.”
