Derby offices sold in £1.4m deal

A Derby office building has been sold in a £1.4m deal.

The two-storey office is currently let to cyber security firm Webroot.

Harris Lamb acted for the buyers while Innes England oversaw the sale of 5 Mallard Way on Pride Park.

Neil Harris, director of Harris Lamb, said: “Derby has a strong and growing tradition in being home to a high number of technology companies and with this particular property currently being occupied by dynamic software business Webroot, it was an exciting sector of the market for our client to invest in.

“Webroot is a well-established, secure and growing occupier, having doubled its floorplate within Pride Park over the last six years.”

Webroot, which provides network security solutions and corporate network protection, is part of a global software provider which was acquired by Carbonite for $618.5 million earlier this year.
