Office agency Kontor is set to acquire Hedge Real Estate in a deal that will see the firm expand from working solely with tenants into landlord advisory.
The boutique agency, which specialises in office leasing in London and New York, will take on Hedge under the Kontor brand to form a tenant and asset owner advisory firm covering the traditional, managed and flex office markets.
Hedge’s clients include the Crown Estate, Derwent London, Pollen Estate, GPE, The Office Group and British Land. The company was set up three years ago by Andrew Gibson, Paul Gold and Ben Orchard-Smith. All staff will move across as part of the takeover and work from Kontor’s Fitzrovia offices.
