Dentons signs for One Liverpool Street

Aviva Investors has agreed a prelet with global law firm Dentons at its redevelopment of One Liverpool Street, EC2. Dentons will take 67,000 sq ft in the 176,000 sq ft building on an initial term of 15 years. It plans to move into the 10-storey scheme in mid-2026. The building is targeting a BREEAM Outstanding rating and plans to meet Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor’s decarbonisation pathway requirements. It will also be fully electric, will offer almost 300 cycle spaces and is expected to have a 33% carbon saving over current Building Regulations. The site is due to be completed in January 2026. Ed Atterwill, head of central London at Aviva Investors, said the decision, “demonstrates a continued demand from businesses for best-in-class buildings in the most connected areas of London and particularly those with market-leading sustainability credentials.” Paul Jarvis, chief executive  for the UK, Ireland and Middle East at Dentons, said: “In One Liverpool Street we have selected an office that offers excellent transport links, access to fantastic local amenities and exemplary sustainability credentials. As one of the first occupants, we will be able to shape the space, as we did with our recent moves into flagship offices in Dublin and Edinburgh, to balance the needs of our people and clients and drive the increased connectivity that our new strategy requires.” Knight Frank advised Dentons.
