Largest office deal in Liverpool this year announced
One of the largest office deals in Liverpool this year has just been announced.
Engineering firm Arup has signed a lease which will see it take up 10,500 sq ft in The Plaza.
The building is in the heart of Liverpool’s commercial district and the move marks a major milestone in Arup’s 18-year presence in the City.
The engineering and design consultancy will move from the 12th floor to the 10th floor of the Bruntwood owned building.
The move will see it almost double the size of its floor area. Since moving into The Plaza 10 years ago the Liverpool office has doubled in size and the move to the 10th floor will enable further growth to over 100 staff.
Arup moves to new offices
National fit out and refurbishment specialist Overbury has been appointed to deliver a new modern working environment centred around activity-based working.
The new office has been designed to include both collaborative spaces and break out areas to encourage creative thinking.
Garry Banks, office leader at Arup, said: “This expansion is significant as it means we can continue to grow and make the most of new opportunities in such a dynamic and fast-growing region.
“We will continue to develop our existing teams and have plans to introduce new service offerings including rail, transport, maritime and nuclear.
“This will build on strategic commissions already secured with both public and private sector clients across the city region.
“Working with Overbury we believe we have created an, inspiring space which will delight both our people and our clients.”
Philip Westwood, director at Overbury, said: “We have a long-standing relationship with Arup and subsequently a solid understanding of their brand, culture and way of working.
“The new office will significantly change the way in which the company operates and will create a space in which Arup can be proud to welcome visitors.”
Overbury specialises in fit out and refurbishment nationally with projects ranging from a few thousand pounds up to £100 million.
