SHW, on behalf of developer MRP, has secured the latest letting at The Portland Building to leading global health marketing firm Inizio Evoke.
The award-winning company has taken a 10-year lease on the second floor, comprising 8,550 sq ft at the recently completed best in class sustainable office development, located in the heart of Brighton.
Situated on the corner of Church Street and Portland Street, the now completed fully-electric office has exemplary sustainability and technological features. The operationally net zero carbon scheme achieved an EPC ‘A’, BREEAM Excellent and a WiredScore Gold ratings, making it one of Brighton’s most attractive new offices for environmentally conscious businesses. It also features photovoltaic roof panels, secure cycle spaces accessed via a dedicated cycle ramp, shower facilities, a private courtyard and a communal roof terrace offering panoramic sea views.
This latest signing means the building is now 80% let with only one floor remaining, following the announcement that the FTSE250 company, Close Brothers, and law firm DMH agreed a deal to lease the ground and first floors.
Benjamin MacPhee, Development Manager at MRP comments: “We are thrilled to welcome Inizio Evoke to The Portland Building and delighted that another local occupier has decided to upgrade their office accommodation and has chosen our building as their new home. It’s a sign of the positivity in the Brighton office market and the quality of the building that we are now 80% let with only one floor remaining. We are extremely proud of the role that our team has played in re-energising the immediate area and transforming what was a vacant run-down site for over 20 years, into a modern office that’s helping Brighton businesses grow and expand.”
James Bryant, Director of SHW, retained letting agent for The Portland Building, says: “SHW were delighted to advise on the letting to Inizio Evoke and welcome them to The Portland Building. With just one floor remaining we are confident the building will be 100% let very soon as more businesses look to upgrade the quality of their office space.”
