Deutsche Bank abandoned the lease of ICC three-tiered
Foreign banks continue to scale down in Hong Kong. Deutsche Bank, one of the two largest listed banks in Germany, is now renting a 9-storey floor of the International Commerce Centre (ICC) in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. It will expire in July next year. According to a source quoted by the foreign power source, Deutsche Bank intends to abandon three of them, and even withdraw the relevant floor early. Based on market rent, it is expected to save more than 100 million yuan in rental expenses each year.
Deutsche Bank reached a lease agreement with SHKP as early as 2008, renting 12 floors of ICC 51 to 66 (no 53, 54, 63 and 64 floors), a total of 420,000 square feet, with Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse is the main tenant of ICC in the early years of occupation. According to a source of information, Deutsche Bank said that the lease period of Deutsche Bank has been 10 years, but it has not used all the space. It is considering abandoning three of them. The landlord has already identified new tenants for the relevant floors through the agency. The building has 35,000 square meters per floor. The three floors involve a total of 105,000 square meters. With the current market value of 85 yuan, the annual rental expenses will be as high as 107.1 million yuan.

According to sources, the landlord has previously introduced the 3rd floor of 51st, 52nd and 55th floors that Deutsche Bank is renting. If there is a large-scale tenant to rent, it can move in before July next year. The market estimates that as Deutsche Bank’s lease expires next year, the bank will relinquish at least the three-story floor once it renews its lease.
