Barings and LBS Let 106,000 Sq Ft at Tide Bankside in Less Than a Year
Barings, one of the world’s largest diversified real estate investment managers, and its joint venture partner and development manager LBS Properties, have secured over 106,000 sq ft of lettings at TIDE Bankside in less than a year. With further space now under offer, only two floors remain available at TIDE Bankside.
Most recently, the 13,650 sq ft eighth floor of TIDE Bankside has been let on a ten-year lease to a leading European intellectual property firm. The IP firm will join a growing roster of occupiers including Costello Medical, Flight Centre, Workplace Futures Group and the recently announced Waterman Group, complementing the flexible workspace in the building known as Flex @ TIDE and operated by NewFlex.
A finalist in the 2025 British Council for Offices Awards, TIDE Bankside comprises 11 upper floors and approximately 145,000 sq ft of high-quality office space, alongside a ground-floor retail unit. It offers over 13,000 sq ft of private and shared green spaces, openable windows, 284 bicycle parking spaces, a dedicated cycle maintenance centre, and 28 showers. Designed by Squire & Partners, the building has achieved net zero certification for embodied carbon.
It has achieved a BRE Design Reviewed NABERS 5 Star rating, EPC A, and is pending BREEAM Outstanding certification, placing it among the UK’s most sustainable buildings.
Ian Mayhew, Head of Real Estate Equity Asset Management, Europe at Barings, said:
“The fact we have let over 106,000 sq ft in a short space of time reinforces the appeal of design-led, sustainable office space in central London. We look forward to making further announcements as we add to the diverse mix of occupiers we’re proud to host at TIDE.”
Nick Crawford, CEO of LBS Properties Ltd, added:
“Together with Barings, we’ve created a workplace that champions wellbeing, sustainability and community and we’re delighted to see this being recognised in the market.
