A Bristol-based software consultancy has relocated to refurbished office accommodation in one of the city’s landmark buildings.
Iken Business Ltd has taken 5,379 sq ft on the 11th floor of Lewins Place on a five year lease.
The deal was brokered by DTZ, a UGL company and Lambert Smith Hampton on behalf of Aberdeen Asset Management. Williams Gunter Hardwick represented Iken Business.
Lewins Place comprises 107,262 sq ft of space in total and recently underwent a total refurbishment to include the office accommodation, communal areas and a new entrance/reception. The building offers easy access to Cabot Circus and the Harbourside as well as the town centre.
The letting closely follows the letting of 7,000 sq ft of space at Lewins Place to Wind Prospect Group Limited.
Iken supplies case management software and consultancy to legal and professional teams. It is the market leading provider of case management and time recording systems for UK local government legal departments and in house corporate counsel. The company is growing fast despite the economic climate and it needed larger premises to accommodate its expansion.
Phil Moore, Senior Surveyor in DTZ’s office agency team in Bristol commented: “This is a great example of how a comprehensive refurbishment can help to breathe new life into a building and attract occupiers seeking centrally located accommodation. Iken has taken advantage of current market conditions to ‘trade up’ from their existing accommodation into better quality, centrally located space.”
Elizabeth Miles at Iken commented on the move: “We are delighted with our new premises. The refurbishment of the building has been completed to a very high standard and Lewins Place now offers the best of both worlds – a prestigious city centre address with a smart corporate look and feel.”
