A team of real estate lawyers at Hogan Lovells has acted for King's Cross Central Limited Partnership in the pre-let of an anchor unit at Coal Drops Yard, the new shopping district at the heart of King’s Cross.

The Hogan Lovells team was led by Real Estate partner Gill McGreevy and counsel, Stella Bliss, who were supported by Hannah Quarterman on planning and Gillian Thomas on construction issues.

Samsung Electronics (UK) Limited is taking 20,000 sq ft at Coal Drops Yard to open a creative and digital playground within the King's Cross regeneration scheme. The Heatherwick Studio re-designed retail and leisure district will be home to 100,000 sq ft of shops and restaurants.

Gill McGreevy said: "We were delighted to act for our longstanding client, King's Cross Central Limited Partnership on this exciting deal, reflecting our position at the forefront of the market trend of retailers moving towards experiential concepts in premium retail space".
