Helical is pleased to announce that it has completed its first letting at 55 Bartholomew Close, EC1, the third and final office building to be completed at its Barts Square estate, to ShadowFall Capital & Research LLP, a leading short-focused hedge fund.
ShadowFall has taken the top floor, comprising 1,040 sq ft, within the newly refurbished office building, agreeing a five year lease with a tenant break option in year three, at a headline rent of £80 psf.
Originally three Victorian townhouses, 55 Bartholomew Close has recently been comprehensively refurbished by Helical and leading designers Morey Smith to deliver contemporary, elegant office suites that complement the heritage of the building. The completed building provides 10,976 sq ft of high quality, characterful office space over lower ground to fifth floor.
Barts Square is a three-acre, mixed use development located between St Paul’s and Smithfield. Comprising 236 high quality apartments, circa 250,000 sq ft of modern office space over three buildings and 10 retail and restaurant units, Barts Square is the creation of a genuine new urban quarter in this charming location. It is also a short walk from the new Farringdon East Elizabeth Line station, due to open next year.

Harry Maude of ShadowFall, added: “We are looking forward to moving into such high-quality offices at 55 Bartholomew Close. The space is perfect for our team dynamic and the amenities of the wider Barts Square estate will have a really positive impact on our staff.”
