Owners
Canary Wharf Group sold the building for £200m to German fund manager KanAm Grund in December 2005.[2] In May 2015, KanAm instructed CBRE and JLL to prepare the building for sale, with an asking price of £215m.[3]
Tenants
Reuters agreed to lease the majority of the building in 2005, their lease currently runs to May 2020. The building serves as Thomson Reuters Corporation's European headquarters.[4] As part of Reuters' relocation, Perkins + Will carried out extensive refurbishment of the building, including installing a 100 metre long ticker around the building to display news and stock prices.[5] Five retail tenants make up the remainder of the building's tenants.
