New tenants for prominent city centre building
ONE of the most prominent office buildings in the centre of Cardiff, Churchill House, has been boosted wth a string of new lettings.
Joint property agents Knight Frank and Fletcher Morgan advised the landlord in the lettings to solicitors Redkite, property lawyers Simply Conveyancing and cyber security specialist Bridewell Consulting.
The nine-storey building, which extends to nearly 88,000 sq ft, is owned by a private fund advised by Floreat, an independent investment group. The building saw a recent refurbishment programme which included new communal meetings rooms and refurbished offices.
Redkite has moved from the Parade in Cardiff to take a 10-year lease on a 2,911 sq ft office suite on the eight floor, Simply Conveyancing signed a five-year lease on 2,921 sq ft on the first floor, while Bridewell has taken 2,917 sq ft on the seventh floor. Redkite is a growing law firm with a network of 14 offices across South Wales, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire. Neil Walker, chief executive at Redkite said: “The move to Churchill House demonstrates the on-going investment we are making in our people by providing colleagues with an attractive, modern working environment designed to facilitate collaborative working. Our people have embraced flexible working and we wanted to make sure that the days they do spend in the office are inspiring. The central location of Churchill House within Cardiff will also be convenient for our clients as well as making it easier for colleagues to socialise and enjoy city centre life.”
Sue Bence, chief legal officer at Simply Conveyancing, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be growing our team of property lawyers in Cardiff, and Churchill House, in its vibrant city Centre location, is an ideal base to support our growth ambitions.”
Mark Sutton, partner at Knight Frank in Cardiff: “The landlord’s investment has helped introduce greater flexibility which enables us to accommodate occupier requirements from 20 to 100 people at Churchill House.”
