Clifford Chance to move offices

Global law firm Clifford Chance is relocating to ground floor offices at 235 Saint George’s Terrace from its current offices at number 190.

The offices, in the KPMG building in the Bishop’s See heritage precinct, are jointly managed by Brookfield Properties and Hawaiian.

The firm has committed to a five-year lease of 1,130 square metres on the ground floor of the building.

Brookfield Properties head of leasing Marcus Wraight said the Clifford Chance lease reflected a growing confidence in the Perth office market.

“The demand for high quality A Grade and premium office space has notably increased in the past six to 12 months, despite the challenges of COVID-19,” he said.

“We are pleased with our leasing successes at 235 St Georges Terrace and believe our ability to deliver high quality office spaces that maximise tenant comfort and experience is a key reason for the strong demand we are experiencing.”

Clifford Chance will join Gold Fields, Tetra Tech Companies, Gallagher, Wilson Group, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry WA and KPMG at the A-grade commercial building.

The law firm is currently at 190 Saint George’s Terrace.
