Advised by CBRE and Newmark, the J. Safra Group has agreed a significant pre-let at 30 St Mary Axe, one of London’s most iconic and architecturally significant landmarks, to BMS Group (BMS), a global insurance and reinsurance broker, for 64,204 sq ft across levels 22-25.

BMS has committed to a 15-year lease and is expected to take occupancy next summer. In addition to the BMS agreement, a further two and a half floors are currently under offer within the building, demonstrating strong and sustained demand.

We are delighted to welcome BMS Group to The Gherkin. This agreement reflects the enduring appeal of the building’s design, location, and prestige. As we continue to invest in its evolution, 30 St Mary Axe remains a destination of choice for leading organisations in the City.

Looking ahead, we are investing in enhancements to further elevate the tenant experience and sustainability credentials.

Now in its second wave of occupiers, this deal underscores the continued appeal of landmark office locations such as The Gherkin, and the continued flight to quality that we’re seeing from occupiers who are looking for high quality office space in top locations.
