Aviva agrees triple letting at Ealing Cross

Aviva Investors Property Trust has signed three key lettings at its Ealing Cross office scheme in west London in deals totalling more than 44,000 sq ft.

The nine-storey office building will soon be home to professional services company Cognizant, which has taken 18,000 sq ft at the Ealing development at a rent of £36.50 per sq ft.

Meanwhile, Clarendon Business Centres has committed to taking 17,213 sq ft of first floor space whilst Kumon Education signed up for 9,000 sq ft. All three occupiers have signed 10 year leases. The deals mean there is now just 8,500 sq ft of grade A space remaining at Ealing Cross. The landmark office scheme at 85 Uxbridge Road has attracted a range of tenants since it was developed in 2009. The trio of new arrivals will join Allied Irish Bank, US cloud telecoms company RingCentral and recruitment agency Global Medics.

The remaining space is being offered at a quoting rent of £39.50 per sq ft.

Ealing continues to develop a vibrant retail and leisure offer and key infrastructure improvements are helping it grab the attention of an ever-greater array of commercial occupiers.

Aviva Investors Property Trust was advised by Hanover Green on the lettings.

Hanover Green’s Richard Zoers said: “These three lettings cement Ealing Cross’ status as a landmark office scheme. The modern building ticks all the boxes for today’s office occupiers and with the imminent arrival of Crossrail, the location offers a compelling rental discount for those looking to relocate from central London.”
