Jon Silversides, partner and head of commercial agency at Carter Jonas Oxford comments:
‘Our long-term involvement with Willow Court has helped to ensure a strong occupier line-up, as well as a joined-up and proactive refurbishment and disposal strategy for our clients – ultimately resulting in a successful sale process. We are particularly pleased to have demonstrated the benefits of a thorough and comprehensive service at Willow Court. In what remains a challenging trading environment, Oxford continues to attract considerable investment interest, for all the right reasons.’
