PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Cegereal (Paris:CGR) today announced the signature of a new lease with KPMG France, bringing the company’s total space in the Europlaza tower to 12,600 sq.m. The lease will run until 2031 with no break option.

KPMG France, a leading audit and advisory firm, has extended its occupancy in the building several times over the last 18 months to host a variety of departments, such as its new law firm and its training center. The teams will move into the new space from second-quarter 2020, joining the other first-class international clients who have also chosen Europlaza.

This new lease illustrates the effectiveness of Cegereal’s strategy to reposition the Europlaza tower as a fully-fledged living space. Tenants now have access to premium services and amenities, a private, tree-lined garden spanning 3,300 sq.m, and a unique working environment that promotes creativity, performance and well-being – all in the heart of Europe’s largest business district.

The lease brings the occupancy rate for Cegereal’s portfolio to 96.9%.
