GPE pre-lets over 52,000 sq ft to Quantexa at The Delft, SE1

 

Great Portland Estates plc (GPE) has today announced the pre-let of 52,293 sq
ft at The Delft, SE1 (formerly Minerva House) to Quantexa, a global data,
analytics, and AI software company pioneering Decision Intelligence
technology.

Quantexa has agreed a 10-year lease, occupying the ground floor East, first
floor East, and the fifth, sixth and seventh floors.

Occupying a prominent island site moments from London Bridge station and
Borough Market, The Delft will deliver 143,100 sq ft of best‑in‑class HQ
workspace in spring 2027, with all office floors benefitting from extensive
River Thames frontage and a 6,000 sq ft communal roof terrace.

Designed by Ben Adams Architects and John Robertson Architects, the
development embraces strong circular economy principles. The Delft is the
first London office development to use river barges for delivery of
materials and removal of waste, saving over 640 heavy good vehicle journeys.
Further, over 70% of the existing structure will be retained, and
approximately 30 tonnes of glass have been recovered for reprocessing and use
in new developments across London.

Marc Wilder, Leasing Director at GPE, commented: "This pre‑letting follows
another strong quarter of leasing and underlines continued demand from global
occupiers for high‑quality, sustainable workspaces. London is an
increasingly important central hub for AI‑led businesses, and this
transaction further strengthens our customer base in this sector. Following
this transaction the building is 38% pre let, and we continue to see good
interest in the remaining space."

 

Ray O'Brien, Chief Operating Officer at Quantexa, said: "London remains
central to Quantexa's growth and global ambitions. Our long-term commitment to
The Delft underlines our confidence in the city and creates the right
environment for our teams to collaborate, innovate, and work side-by-side with
customers and partners as we scale."

 

CBRE and Savills advised GPE in the transaction.
