Other occupiers at Southern Gate include Neo Orthodontics Ltd and HL Partnership Ltd who will be joined by Concept Building Services in building 1 and the DWP who occupy buildings 2 and 3.
Southern Gate was developed in the last 2 years and comprises a terrace of three buildings totalling 15,000 sq ft with each unit being approximately 5,000 sq ft each. It forms part of a much wider office park which has been constructed by the same developer since the year 2000 comprising seven buildings and some 135,000 sq ft in total.
FPC director, Mark Minchell, commented, “Our client had the confidence in the Chichester office market to speculatively develop this final phase of the Southern Gate office park. This confidence has been rewarded by the final suite being let. We have seen a very good level of office letting activity since the summer of 2020 in spite of the C19 pandemic. Occupiers still need office space and this brand new accommodation offers an excellent working environment for companies and their staff which is close to the public transport network, benefits from car parking and has very good energy efficient characteristics”.
