The developer of the Shard won Duff & Phelps Corp. as its first office tenant about 10 months after the London skyscraper opened, two people with knowledge of the matter said.
The financial advisory and investment banking firm agreed to lease about 20,000 square feet (1,860 square meters) of space from Sellar Property Group Ltd., said the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. The Shard, the tallest building in western Europe, has more than 589,000 square feet of office space.
