A Cheshire commercial development has signed its seventh new tenant in as many weeks. Bank Quay House, on Warrington’s Sankey Street, is owned and directly managed by Python Properties, a property company focusing on bespoke high-quality town centre offices.
It purchased the property in 2006 and, says founding partner Martin Johnson, “since then we have completely redeveloped the building into what we believe is now Warrington town centre’s most successful office complexes”.
As part of the upgrade the 26,000sq ft building was stripped back to its shell. “It then received a comprehensive refurbishment which included putting in place an art gallery and café on the ground floor,” he added.
“This amenity within the building, along with Python’s can do attitude to lettings, has provided a vibrant and successful facility for Warrington’s businesses and community.”
Bank Quay House — facing Warrington town hall and its famous Golden Gates — has attracted a steady stream of new lettings this autumn. The seven latest are: Reed Recruitment; business intelligence provider, KB Logic; music and entertainment company, TAB Management; Elite Promotions & Marketing; computer repair specialists, Evo Systems; Radiology Reporting Online, an international teleradiology company, and Precise Marketing Solutions.
Commercial agent BE Group, which is marketing the site alongside Altus Eileen Bilton, is now attempting to let the final pair of office suites within the five-storey building. Each of the business chambers can accommodate up to a dozen staff members.
According to BE Group associate director, Simon Roddam, the rash of Bank Quay lettings is indicative of the town’s improving commercial climate. “The Warrington office market is performing well, with take up exceeding the 200,000 sq ft mark by the end of this year’s third quarter,” he explained.
“We have seen an increase in demand for smaller office accommodation in Warrington town centre, and Bank Quay House’s offer has really hit the mark with footloose occupiers seeking quality office accommodation on flexible terms.”
