Wells Fargo Buys £300M HQ In Central London

London

Wells Fargo shrugged off Brexit worries and splashed down £395M on a new HQ in the main financial sector of London, marking one of the biggest deals in UK since the referendum. Slovak developer HB Reavis is due to complete the 11-story, 227k SF building at 33 Central in the third quarter of 2017.

Wells Fargo plans to consolidate all of its London-based staff in a single location, according to Bloomberg.

A 10k SF rooftop garden offers views of London’s landmarks, including the Shard, the Walkie Talkie building and St. Paul’s Cathedral.
