Leading property consultant CBRE and joint agent Thomson Property Consultants have secured NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde (NHS GGC) as the tenant for the last remaining office suite situated above the Piazza Shopping Centre at 1 Smithhills Street in Paisley on behalf of NewRiver Retail, resulting in full occupation of the building.
NHS GGC has taken the entire second floor of the property, almost 16,000 sq ft, on a ten year lease.
Forming the upper part of The Piazza Shopping Centre located immediately adjacent to Gilmour Street Station in the heart of Paisley, less than 10 miles from Glasgow city centre, this modern, open-plan office accommodation has easy access to the M8 motorway and Glasgow International Airport. The Piazza offers staff excellent retail amenities below and the about to be completed refurbished car park adjacent provides modern convenient car parking.
NHS GCC join existing tenants The British Red Cross and The Care Inspectorate.
David Rolwegan, associate director at CBRE, said: “It’s great to have this final letting secured by such a high profile organisation, bringing the building to full occupation. NHS GCC recognise the benefits of being so close to all the amenities and transport links that this building’s central location has to offer.”
Emma Mackenzie, director of NewRiver Retail, said: “The office accommodation above the Piazza in Paisley presented an attractive prospect for NHS GCC, not just because of the great location but also the scale and open plan nature of the suites allows them to be highly flexible and thereby satisfying a variety of their modern business needs. We are delighted to see the final suite at 1 Smithhills Street let bringing approximately 220 people into the town centre which will contribute to the vibrancy of the town for all businesses.”
This final deal follows on from a letting earlier this year to a leading legal services provider.
