Two more tenants eye up space at 22 Bishopsgate

New Jersey-headquartered data analytics provider Verisk has placed two floors at 22 Bishopsgate, EC2, under offer. The firm is understood to be looking to take just over 50,000 sq ft on floors 26 and 27, with an option over the 26,000 sq ft 28th floor.

In addition, Norwegian state-owned hydropower company Statkraft is also under offer on a floor at the skyscraper, which is being built by Axa Investment Managers and Lipton Rogers. The 1.2m sq ft of office space at the 61-floor tower is expected to available for tenants by March 2020. If the leasing deals proceed, Verisk and Statkraft will join US life and health reinsurance company Reinsurance Group of America and insurance companies Hiscox and Beazley, which have all signed up to take space at the building. A spokesperson for Statkraft said: “Statkraft has an ambitious growth strategy, and a natural consequence of strong growth is to monitor and evaluate our need for office space in all markets we are active in.” Axa IM Real Assets declined to comment.
