Great Portland Estates plc R.E.I.T. ( (GB:GPE) ) has issued an announcement.

Great Portland Estates has fully let or placed under offer all 28,700 sq ft in the first phase of its Fully Managed workspace at City Tower in EC2, securing expected annual rent of £5.3 million at an average £186 per sq ft, a 6.6% premium to its March 2025 estimated rental value. A second phase of 19,900 sq ft launches in March, meaning roughly half of the 21-storey building will be converted, supported by new communal and event space and strong demand from blue-chip tenants, underscoring resilient appetite for high-quality, flexible City offices.

The fully managed space at City Tower has attracted occupiers including Standard Chartered, Agave Capital Management and Avalara Europe, reinforcing GPE’s positioning in the competitive flexible workspace market. Located near major transport hubs and adjacent to GPE’s pre-let 2 Aldermanbury Square development for Clifford Chance, the project strengthens the group’s footprint in the City core and signals continued investor and occupier confidence in premium, well-connected London office assets.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:GPE) stock is a Hold with a £383.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Great Portland Estates plc R.E.I.T. stock, see the GB:GPE Stock Forecast page.
