Graeme House nearing completion

A MAJOR upgrade of the last remaining space in a new flexi-office space in Liverpool city centre is progressing well.

Developer Downing is carrying out work to two vacant wings at the Graeme House on Derby Square to create 12,405sq ft of space.

Up to 15 flexi-offices ranging in size from 170 to 3,600sq ft are part of thescheme.

The space in Graeme House is part of Downing’s expanding flexi-office portfolio, which is spread across landmark city buildings including No.1 Old Hall Street and the Grade II Listed Port of Liverpool Building on Liverpool’s World Heritage waterfront site.

The building is rapidly becoming a hub of training, skills and recruitment specialists in the city. Current tenants include recruitment companies Reed and Blue Arrow, and national training provider for apprenticeships Aspire Achieve Advance.

The refurbishment, which is due to complete soon, will deliver high-quality comfort-cooled offices, with the option of instant connectivity via Metronet’s Superfast Broadband.

John Clegg, head of property management for Downing, said: “It’s great to be nearing completion on this refurbishment which will deliver a host of new offices for tenants in the city.

“Appetite for our offering has been strong since we first launched the concept in 2012 and we are very pleased to see that demand is continuing to grow and pick up pace in line with the upturn in the economy.

“Graeme House is a landmark building set conveniently between Liverpool’s bustling city centre and its business district, so it’s a great location for businesses. We look forward to seeing works complete and to welcoming new tenants to the building.”
