The River Building recently underwent a comprehensive refurbishment to a tech & media focussed finish and was 100% pre-let to Deliveroo and Kobalt Music (at an overall rent of £62.05 per sq ft). The Atrium Building is multi-let to a number of financial tenants including Natixis and IG Group (£38.41 per sq ft overall)l.
