AXA IM - Real Assets has let a further 37,000 sq ft of space at 22 Bishopsgate, to THB Group, an AmWINS Group Company and specialist international (re)insurance broking and risk management group, on a 15 year lease.

This letting takes the total pre-let space, including expansion options, at 22 Bishopsgate to around 800,000 sq ft to a mix of occupiers.

THB will move into 22 Bishopsgate in late 2020 and will occupy one and a half floors on the 16th and 17th levels of the building, with fitting out due to begin soon. The lease will also provide THB with access to the 100,000 sq ft of common amenities, social spaces and services that will be available to occupiers as part of the building’s infrastructure. A further 102,000 sq ft of event space, meeting rooms and flexible workspace are also on offer following the recent lease to Convene. THB placed value on these shared amenities and facilities allowing them to leverage their planned growth and give them additional flexibility – as well as a high focus on their staff environment.

THB Group CEO and AmWINS International President, Frank Murphy, commented: “THB/AmWINS’ move to 22 Bishopsgate signals the start of a new era for us. Our recent recognition as Broker of the Year and our consistent financial results demonstrate our strength, stability and expertise. A state-of-the-art office in one of the City’s most exciting and futuristic real estate projects reflects THB/AmWINS’ commitment to the London insurance market and our collective ambition for the future.”

Harry Badham, Head of UK Development at AXA IM - Real Assets, said: “THB Group’s commitment to take space at the building, during an exciting period for the business, serves as another endorsement of how the quality of space and the people-focused facilities and amenities on offer at 22 Bishopsgate can support a business’ growth ambitions. As we move towards the next phase of our leasing campaign, we continue to be encouraged by the diverse occupier base that the building continues to attract from across London and we look forward to announcing further leases in the coming months.”
