The London Evening Standard reports: Meta paid the FTSE 250 developer 149 million pounds on Monday in order to break the lease on the building, 1 Triton Square. The tech firm, which also owns Instagram, let the space from 2021 following a refurbishment but never moved into the space. Meta has three open London sites including a neighbouring building in Regent&#8217;s Place, near Warren Street in central London.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts at BNP Paribas Exane claimed Meta has another 18 years on its lease at the site. British Land said it will receive the one-off payment to end the lease but the agreement would also reduce its earnings per share by 0.6% over the six months to next March.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<div class=\"share_submission\" style=\"position:relative\">\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Meta+Pays+a+Lot+of+Money+To+Break+Lease+On+London+Office+Building%3A+https%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F23%2F09%2F26%2F2045251%2F%3Futm_source%3Dtwitter%26utm_medium%3Dtwitter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/twitter_icon_large-589.png\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F23%2F09%2F26%2F2045251%2Fmeta-pays-a-lot-of-money-to-break-lease-on-london-office-building%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/facebook_icon_large-295.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tech.slashdot.org\/story\/23\/09\/26\/2045251\/meta-pays-a-lot-of-money-to-break-lease-on-london-office-building?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\">Read more of this story<\/a> at Slashdot.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Slashdot &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/tech.slashdot.org\/story\/23\/09\/26\/2045251\/meta-pays-a-lot-of-money-to-break-lease-on-london-office-building?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meta Pays a Lot of Money To Break Lease On London Office Building<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;As a result of the move to working from home, Meta has walked away from one of its offices in London at the cost of 149 million pounds,&#8221; writes Slashdot reader Bruce66423.
