Partners Melinda Graham and Simon Ralton, supported by lawyer Chris Bannard-Smith, advised Microsoft on its Agreement for Lease and Lease of 10,655 m² (seven levels) of 1 Denison Street North Sydney. Thomson Geer has represented Microsoft in multiple leasing transactions across Australia, through its relationship with Eversheds Sutherland.
Microsoft is consolidating from several sites including its North Ryde head office which led to timetabling complexities to be managed in the transaction documents. The lease is a pre-commitment in a commercial office building which will be the tallest tower in North Sydney, and is being developed by Winten Property Group.
