CBRE Investment Management Achieves Full Occupancy at 10 Gresham Street with 32,400 Sq Ft Let to MetLife

CBRE Investment Management (“CBRE IM”) has secured MetLife Investment Management (“MIM”) as the final occupier at 10 Gresham Street, its comprehensively refurbished and highly sustainable Grade A office building in the City of London.

MIM, the institutional asset management business of MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET), has signed a 10-year lease for the entire third floor, comprising 32,403 sq ft. The transaction brings the building to full occupancy, marking the successful completion of CBRE IM’s repositioning and leasing strategy for the asset.

Originally designed by Foster + Partners, the 251,000 sq ft office building has been reimagined to create a high-performance workplace tailored to the needs of modern occupiers. The refurbishment combines best-in-class sustainability credentials, premium amenities and exceptional employee wellbeing features in a prime location in the heart of the City of London, providing occupiers with excellent access to the train and tube network.

The transformation includes an eight-storey glazed atrium, communal rooftop facilities with panoramic views across the City, extensive cycling and wellness amenities, and enhanced environmental performance achieved through the retention and reuse of the building’s existing structure. The refurbishment preserved the building’s iconic façade and saved approximately 17,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide through a commitment to recycling and repurposing materials.

Following its refurbishment, 10 Gresham Street is targeting BREEAM Outstanding, WELL Platinum and an EPC B rating, with embodied carbon levels significantly below the RIBA 2030 target.

Louisa Butters, Head of UK Urban Destinations at CBRE Investment Management, said: “The letting of the final available floor at 10 Gresham Street reflects the strong demand for best-in-class office space in the City of London. The building’s successful repositioning demonstrates that occupiers continue to prioritise high-quality, sustainable workplaces that support employee wellbeing and collaboration. We are delighted to welcome MIM to the building and to have achieved full occupancy following the completion of this transformative refurbishment.”

Mick Sweeney, Head of MetLife Investment Management, EMEA said: “We are delighted to establish 10 Gresham Street as the home of our integrated business and investment capabilities in London, creating a hub to drive the expansion of our wider EMEA business. By bringing colleagues together in a single location in the City of London, we will strengthen our client culture and support the continued growth of our business.”

The completion of the lease follows CBRE IM’s landmark letting to Moody’s, which committed to more than 110,000 sq ft at the building and relocated its European headquarters to 10 Gresham Street.
