I understand 55 Broadway is being retained and is subject to a sale and lease back arrangement. This replaced the planned sale and conversion
to flats. Looking at the comments under DG's article it seems people are being moved from right across the TfL building portfolio including
Windsor House which (I think) is being vacated.

That's interesting (and surprising) -- I though the sale and
conversion of 55 Broadway into flats was a done deal. I even did a
tour of the building that was stated to be one of the last before TfL
moved out, and some parts already appeared to be empty.

Perhaps the new owner has had some vacant possession in order to do
refurbishments?

Conversion into flats would have needed much more than
'refurbishment'. In any case, it just looked like some rooms were no
longer in use, but nothing had been done to them.
