Bruntwood lets office space to Weightmans law firm
Bruntwood has secured the largest commercial letting in the North West in 2011. The commercial property company has exchanged contracts on a 94,000 sq ft letting with Weightmans law firm.
The 15 year lease will see the company relocate to The Plaza, Bruntwood's flagship Liverpool building. The deal marks one of the biggest lettings in Bruntwood's history and the most expansive private sector letting for six years in Liverpool.
A merger with rival Mace & Jones earlier this year saw Weightmans swell to over 1,000 employees, causing them to look for larger premises than the existing office in India Buildings on Water Street.
High-quality office space
David Guest, regional director for Bruntwood, said: "This letting was hotly contested between landlords in the region, as it's huge for Liverpool and the North West, not only Bruntwood. A contract this extensive is proof of the high-quality office space we have created and the standard of service and care given to our clients for the lifetime of the lease."
Colin Forshaw, head of sales for Bruntwood, said: "Weightmans choosing The Plaza as the new home for the firm has left us feeling rather proud. As one of our most popular buildings, it continues to attract a range of companies, big and small, looking for the very best office space to let."
Head of the Liverpool Weightmans office Liverpool David Lewis said: "This move will be the beginning of a new chapter for the Liverpool office - reflecting our confidence in the business and our determination to provide an excellent working environment for our people, and state-of-the-art headquarters from where we can welcome and service clients."
Liverpool investments
Bruntwood has invested £24m into the Plaza since acquiring the property in 2003 which includes the £2.4m entrance move to St Paul's Square. It contains some of the best quality offices and serviced offices in Liverpool city centre. The whole building has been through an extensive renovation, creating a dramatic new reception and top-of-the-range meeting rooms to hire. Just a stone's throw from Moorfields Station and with easy access to Liverpool Lime Street Station, office occupiers have a wide range of amenities and transport links on their doorstep.
