5 Canada Square is a 15- storey, 87.7 m (288 ft) office building in the Canary Wharf financial district development of London, England.
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]
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] 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. [8] 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. [9]
From late 2016, Thomson Reuters is due to sublease 350,000 sq ft from Credit Suisse until 2020, consolidating all of its London operations under one roof for the first time. [10]
