This all contributed to the success in letting the building with occupancy approaching 90% and tenants including Dimension Data, Pret a Manger and Waitrose. The level of demand is evidence of the design excellence and commercial appeal of the building.\n \nThe building, which was redeveloped from the former Eland House, retained 80% of the existing structure and saved 11,600 tonnes of carbon in development. These characteristics, along with the building's BREEAM 'Excellent' rating, have lent the development excellent environmental credentials, which have also increased its appeal to potential occupiers. \n \nAukett Swanke Group CEO Nicholas Thompson said:\n \n'It gives us enormous pleasure to report on the plaudits from our peers for the work being produced within our studio for yet another major building in the West End, this time for Tishman Speyer. Its appeal to occupiers follows in the footsteps of another recent completion with the Adelphi Building for Blackstone having achieved 100 % occupancy just over one month ago.'\n \nDan Nicholson, Managing Director of Tishman Speyer UK, said: \n \n\"We are absolutely delighted that Verde SW1 has won two such prestigious awards. This accolade is recognition of the role Verde SW1 is playing in transforming Victoria. The building continues to attract tenants and we recently announced two new leases with Dimension Data and TP ICAP, bringing occupancy in the building to 86%.\"\n \n-Ends-\n \nFor more press information on Aukett Swanke please contact:\n \nPress & Investor Relations: Ben Alexander 07926 054 111\n \n \n \n \n \nNotes to Editors\n \nAbout Tishman Speyer\n \nTis...
