Having acquired Poseidon House, an attractive waterside office building in Cattedown Plymouth, leading London based entrepreneur Luke Johnson of Risk Capital Limited is aiming to attract more businesses from the professional, financial or creative sectors to create a thriving business community in an area of huge development potential.
Plymouth based commercial property and development consultant, William Lean, is now marketing a highly attractive second floor office suite in this 4-storey 18,000 sq ft building which overlooks the River Plym in the south east of the city.
He regards this strategic inward investment project as a significant vote of confidence in Plymouth from such a prominent and successful serial entrepreneur who has had diverse, high profile business interests including Pizza Express, Giraffe, Patisserie Valerie and a range of signature restaurants, pubs, artisan bakeries and other food/leisure outlets.
Luke Johnson is also a former Chairman of Channel 4 and the Royal Society of Arts and has recently become Chairman of the Institute of Cancer Research. In June 2012 he was appointed Chairman of Startup Britain, the national campaign to stimulate start-up growth in the UK.
Poseidon House
The 200.7m2 (2160 sq ft) second floor, open plan office accommodation at Poseidon House, Neptune Park, benefits from air-conditioning, central heating and raised flooring for easy IT installation access. Suites in the four storey building are arranged on either side of a central staircase/lift well with male and female WCs on all floors. The building is also fully DDA compliant with a Disabled WC which doubles as a shower.
Poseidon House has generous parking availability with three spaces for every 1000 sq ft of offices.
It is also located next door to TR2, the Plymouth Theatre Royal pre-production, rehearsal and set building facility where the Green Room Restaurant is available to occupants of Poseidon House.
William Lean, commented: “The quality of this building deserves to be viewed. It is in a wonderful waterside location with six car parking spaces and easy access to the main A374 Embankment Road leading to the A38 Devon Expressway.
“Current occupants include property developers Belstone Fox, construction consultants Currie & Brown, sales support agency Marketing Interaction, Michael Batt Foundation and Independent Financial Advisers, Positive Solutions.
“Clearly, Poseidon House would suit a professional, creative or financial sector business which would benefit from an intellectually stimulating business environment.”
William Lean added a further ground floor suit of some 3,000 sq ft at Poseidon House which is temporarily occupied by staff of the Theatre Royal while it undergoes refurbishment, will also become available in the near future.
