10 South Colonnade enables government departments to exit a number of expensive
leaseholds in Whitehall. It brings staff from departments together in a single, modern, and
efficient building in an area with lower rents to facilitate a collaborative Civil Service


Once all government occupiers have relocated to HM Government 10 South Colonnade,
we expect to make savings of around £20 million per annum until the end of the lease in
2032.
