Overview
5 Canada Square was completed in 2003. The steel- framed building has an aluminum curtain wall and it features a large atrium on its south side with 46,450 m2 (500,000 sq ft) of floorspace.[4]
The principal tenant at 5 Canada Square is the European arm and HQ of Bank of America Securities. The building is used for the bank’s global cash-management business for clients.[5] Credit Suisse also occupies part of the building.[6]
History
In 2003, Royal Bank of Scotland (or RBS) bought 5 Canada Square along with 25 Canada Square, another Canary Wharf building, for a total of £1.1 billion from Canary Wharf, a major property firm that developed the facility.[7][8] 5 Canada Square was originally leased by Credit Suisse First Boston but after a banking downturn and not needing the space, Credit Suisse let the space to Bank of America.[6]
In July 2007, the building was sold by RBS to Evans Randall, a banking firm, for £452 million, making it the firm’s largest UK investment to date.[9] In 2011, Bank of America chose to renew its lease at 5 Canada Square instead of move to another London location.[5] The building was subsequently sold to St Martins Property Group in January 2013.[10]
