Land Securities has successfully let nearly 25,000 sq ft at 62 Buckingham Gate SW1 to rapidly expanding financial technology company WorldRemit.
The deal, which will see WorldRemit relocate its UK headquarters to the second floor of the 257,000 sq ft building, takes 62 Buckingham Gate’s occupancy rate to 78 per cent let.
62 Buckingham Gate, in the heart of Victoria, already has an impressive occupier line-up including Rolls Royce, World Fuel Services, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and OMV. The ground floor level is home to a Curzon cinema along with food outlets Benugo and Leon.
Head of Commercial at Land Securities, Kaela Fenn-Smith, commented: “We’re really pleased to welcome WorldRemit to 62 Buckingham Gate.
“With its ever growing list of amenities, and flexible and resilient office space, Victoria is a great place for a dynamic and innovative company like WorldRemit to do business.”
WorldRemit is an online service that helps people send money abroad to friends and family using a smartphone, tablet or computer.
Ismail Ahmed, founder and CEO of WorldRemit, added: “There is an amazing buzz around Victoria right now, especially among tech companies. 62 Buckingham Gate was the obvious choice for WorldRemit’s new home – it is the jewel in the crown of this increasingly vibrant area.”
