Article posted: 06 Sep 2011

Global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group has secured FNZ, a leading IT software company, as its latest tenant at Tanfield, signing a ten year lease for 17,300 sq ft of office space in Edinburgh on the ground floor of Carlyle’s flagship office development.

FNZ, who provide market-leading platform technology and investment administration services to the financial services sector, will relocate from two separate offices in Edinburgh, enabling it to consolidate into a single larger, space and to continue its business expansion plans. It is expected to take occupation in October 2011, following the completion of the fit-out.

The latest letting follows that to TheTrainline.Com, which relocated Tanfield earlier this year, joining a wide range of other occupiers including AECOM and Craneware.

Tanfield is situated on Inverleith Row and offers flexible and affordable grade A office space with 297 secure underground car parking spaces. The development has been designed to accommodate a broad range of occupiers with different space and tenancy requirements, which is reflected in the line up of tenants already located at the building.

Mark Harris, Director of The Carlyle Group, said: “This latest letting not only reflects the outstanding quality of the space we have at Tanfield, but also the ongoing work we have done to ensure that it remains the first choice for occupiers in the region.”

Stewart Maclean, FNZ’s Group Financial Controller added: “In looking for new premises we wanted to create a single hub for our existing staff, improve our profile for clients and provide room for future growth. Tanfield has provided a solution to meet all these needs.”

Fellow Tanfield occupier, TheTrainline.Com, has this week signed up for new office space in the City of London to become the principal tenant at 50 Farringdon Road, EC1.
