Bruntwood has secured the largest commercial letting in the North West this year after exchanging contracts on a 94,000 sq ft lease with law firm Weightmans.
The company is moving to Bruntwood’s flagship Liverpool building, The Plaza on a 15 year lease.
The move marks one of the largest lettings in Bruntwood’s history and the largest private sector letting in Liverpool for six years.
Bruntwood has invested £24m into the Plaza since its acquisition in 2003 which includes the £2.4m reception entrance relocation to St Paul’s Square.
Weightmans is moving from its office in India Buildings, Water Street, following a merger with rival Mace & Jones earlier this year which saw the firm expand to over 1,000 staff.
David Guest, regional director for Bruntwood, said: “This is such a significant letting, not just for Bruntwood, but Liverpool and the North West and was hotly contested between landlords in the region.
“A letting this large is testament to the high-quality office space we provide and the level of service and care given to our customers throughout the lifetime of the lease.”
Colin Forshaw, head of sales for Bruntwood, said: “We are thrilled Weightmans chose The Plaza, as the firm’s new base. As one of our most popular buildings, it continues to attract a wealth of companies, large and small, looking for the very best office suites.”
David Lewis, head of the Weightmans' Liverpool office, 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 flagship headquarters from where we can welcome and service clients."
