Office News
Fisher Hargreaves Proctor, acting on behalf of Braemore Group, have completed the fourth and final letting at Ashbourne House (winner of Best Regeneration Project at the recent Nottingham Evening Post Commercial Property Awards).
The letting is to GPS Construction and is a 3 year lease on the lower ground floor suite of 1,225ft².
James Hartley of Fisher Hargreaves Proctor commented:
“This is fantastic news particularly given all the bad press at the moment. To see a building of such high calibre fully let in just the 5 months that Fisher Hargreaves Proctor have been involved really does go to show that given the right marketing and calibre of property there are property deals to be done.”
James Hartley went on to further comment:
“I am sure that the success of this property is in large due to Braemore’s expertise and flair in producing and developing such an award winning building. Few commercial properties of this scale offer the technological and IT solutions available at Ashbourne House and because the design specification and attention to detail are second to none it is not surprising that the interest in this period property has been outperforming others within the market.
We have spent a good deal of time in the past couple of years with GPS Construction, helping them to find a product that will suit their needs. It appears that this letting on Ashbourne House is a step in the right direction for them.”
Ashbourne house is a four storey regency building which has been sensitively restored to its former glory. This high quality office accommodation combines period style with modern efficiency to create outstanding open plan working environments.
All the suites within the building benefit from comfort cooling, keyless access, raised floors, preinstalled cabling, LG7 Lighting and a bespoke fitted kitchen with granite work services. All this is within a secure gated compound with car parking.
Oliver Wheatcroft at Braemore Group commented:
“Ashbourne House was purchased in 2006 and we felt that given the building had been disused since 1998 it was important to restore and make benefit of its obvious character and standing. A great deal of time and imagination has gone into retaining the integrity of the building and many original features have been restored to their former splendor whilst at the same time ensuring that the building meets the needs of todays modern office requirements and demands such as double glazing, security shutters and comfort cooling.
We have in fact decided to keep one of the floors as our UK Head Office and as such it was essential for us to ensure that the interior design and finish of the building mirrored the high level of style and quality that we expect and produce within our hotels and residential developments overseas.”
Adam Smith of GPS Construction added:
“We are delighted to have completed this lease, the space is absolutely ideal for us. The Braemore Group and Fisher Hargreaves Proctor have been very supportive during our latest office search. Ashbourne House is ideal for us given the high quality of office accommodation and its location to the north of Nottingham City Centre means that we are able to access our key sites and clients quickly and easily.
I truly believe that the interior design and specification is unrivaled, certainly when compared to the other office schemes which we have viewed within Nottingham and now that the lease is signed I can’t wait to get moved it.”
This means that all floors of Ashbourne House have been successfully let following on from the previous letting to the Confederation of British Industry and the Bistro Pierre Restaurant Head Office.
