The Angel Building in east Central London.
Advised by Cushman & Wakefield, Expedia will pay a rent of £3.33 million (ca. 3.75 million) a year on a 10-year lease, with no breaks and a rent-free period of 24 months. They will pay a rent of £40 per ft² on the 51,385-ft² fourth floor and £42.50 per ft² on the 29,875-ft² fifth floor.
Cushman & Wakefield assisted Expedia on the consolidation of its existing occupation in Orange Street and Seven Dials, Covent Garden by simultaneously subletting 36,000 ft² of its existing space to Facebook.
Henry Peto, Partner in the London Occupier Representation team who advised Expedia said; "The deal which involved two simultaneously transactions represents one of the largest in the West End this year. The acquisition of 81,000 ft² over two floors at The Angel will enable Expedia's business to continue to grow within a single building at a significant discount (on a pro rata basis), to their current cost base in Covent Garden."
Busaba Eathai, a modern Thai restaurant chain, has leased a 4,200-ft² retail unit at the south of the building. This follows the recent retail letting to Jamie's Italian.
