HSBC to Abandon Skyscraper Headquarters in Move to Central London
- HSBC will leave its 45-story tower in Canary Wharf, one of the city’s main financial districts.
- HSBC plans to downsize its space and embrace more flexible working arrangements in a new office, the former BT headquarters.
- The bank's new headquarters will be about half the size of its current office and offer amenities to support wellbeing and sustainability goals.
- The move is part of a broader trend of companies reducing office space due to increased remote work and high rents.
- Other major banks have also announced plans to cut down on expensive office space and provide staff more flexibility.
