Nurton Development’s Cardinal Square offices in Derby has landed one of the stand-out deals of this year, with a 7,000ft2 letting to locally based Inertia Consulting.
Inertia Consulting, an award-winning specialist in civil engineering and structural consultancy, has announced its move to the landmark offices located at the junction of the A61 and A52, to ensure its long-term success in the city.
This relocation aligns with Inertia’s plans for strategic growth, providing an enhanced workspace that enables the company to continue to attract top tier talent, benefiting from Nurton’s on-going investment in the offices, particularly over the past 24 months.
Inertia Consulting, which operates extensively across the UK, offers consultancy services in civil engineering, structural design, bridge inspection, and non-destructive testing to a broad range of clients, including the public and private sectors.
Nurton has invested significantly in creating a high-quality working environment, catering to the needs of modern occupiers with a focus on onsite amenities and wellbeing including open green spaces, outdoor work, rest areas and leisure facilities.
David Dyas, Asset Manager at Nurton Developments, said:
“The investment we’ve made to Cardinal Square has been well received by existing occupiers and the wider market. This letting is a direct result of the improvements we have made to the building. Inertia sought quality space to amalgamate their offices and Cardinal Square ticked the box.
“We spent time liaising with Inertia and built an excellent working relationship during what were enjoyable negotiations to ensure the letting met with their requirements.”
David added:
“Flexible floorspace at Cardinal Square caters for anything from a single office up to 25,000ft2, providing a wealth of options for incoming occupiers whilst also enabling existing occupiers to expand or contract as their business dictates and according to their style of working.
We are definitely seeing a growing trend amongst businesses to upgrade their space to attract and retain employees, encouraging people back into the office with a working environment which offers that all important work life balance and a stimulating and fun place to collaborate and spend time with colleagues.”
Darran Severn Director from FHP Property Consultants, agents for Cardinal Square agreed and added:
“The 7,000ft2 letting is certainly one of the largest office lettings in Derby we’ve done this year in a market where the typical transaction bracket is under 3,000ft². Office occupiers are still continuing the trend of upgrading their space and this is evident in this letting.
We still have a number of office suites available in Cardinal Square so please do get in touch if you would like to discuss availability or arrange to view.
The inner courtyard at Cardinal is a surprising addition to the building and offers a green oasis with meeting pods and recreational activities like table tennis, pétanque and mini golf.
The new office space also positions Inertia close to the city centre, just a short walk to the shops and amenities it has to offer.”
Ryan Bradley, Director of Inertia Consulting said:
“We were drawn to Cardinal Square not only by the central location and connectivity but also by the office environment, which aligns with our commitment to our team’s well-being. We look forward to continuing our work from these vibrant new offices and benefit from the rich talent pool in the city.”
Inertia Consulting joins a growing list of occupiers at Cardinal Square, including Bulkhead, Freeth’s, City Fibre, FTT, Randd, Astute, FHP, Smile Bright and the NHS.
Innes England acted as joint agents alongside FHP Property Consultants.
