Central Bristol office building filling up after letting to software firm

One suite remains available at Bristol’s PS21 following a recent letting to software firm Iken.

Colliers in Bristol, alongside joint agents Knight Frank, has let 2,142 sq ft at PS21 leaving just 1,593 sq ft available at the centrally located office building.

On behalf of client Robert Hitchins Investment Properties, the space in Prince Street was let to Iken Business which has agreed a new five-year lease at a rent of £31 per sq ft.

The software company has taken the space on the first floor south wing of the building.

James Preece, director in the national offices team at Colliers Bristol, said: “The Bristol office market continues to be driven by lettings under 5,000 sq ft as appetite from local businesses remains strong. We are pleased to have secured Iken as the latest tenant at PS21. The fact there is only one suite remaining at the building is testament to the quality of its space, the central location and a proactive landlord.”

Emily Reid, finance and office manager at Iken, said: “We are so thrilled to have secured office space in Bristol’s PS21 on Prince Street. As an agile software-house the building’s central location and excellent facilities suits our hybrid business requirements perfectly.  At Iken, it’s important to us that we provide our teams with a bright, flexible and modern space so that they make the most of shared collaborative time in the office as a balance to concentrated remote working. We are excited to start this next stage of our growth from our new home at PS21.”

John Jones, senior asset and development manager at Robert Hitchins, welcomed Iken to PS21.

He said: “We’re extremely happy with the property and pleased to welcome another quality tenant,” he said. “The acquisition gave us a chance to create modern offices with a contemporary feel and excellent facilities in a great location close to Queen Square.”
