Urban Splash completes 15,000 sq ft of Q1 deals
Award winning regeneration company Urban Splash has rounded off Q1 with deals on more than 15,000 sq ft of space across its commercial portfolio – welcoming new tenants and extending leases with existing customers.
The bulk of the deals were completed in the company’s North West portfolio which last year was refinanced as part of a £43m package with Aviva. Here, 7,000 sq ft of space was let, including more than 1,100 sq ft at the Schoolhouse at Trafford Park to recruiters, Pertemps.
In central Manchester at New Islington, where Urban Splash has regenerated the north eastern end of the city into new places to live, work and play, 774 sq ft of space has been let to dog groomers, Mutt Dog Club Limited.
Further deals have been completed in Liverpool with Innovative Software Technologies taking 1,414 sq ft in the Ropewalks area of the city. In south Liverpool, soccer cards company, TFF Breaks and facilities manager, MPB-FM have both moved into Mersey House at the Matchworks.
Speaking of the deals, Urban Splash director Emily Jones said: “We are delighted to welcome these businesses into our growing North West portfolio. We have invested heavily in our workspaces in Manchester and Liverpool in recent years as we strive to appeal to modern businesses looking for great design, and well-located hubs that meet the needs of a modern, hybrid workforce.”
The company has also completed deals on space in Plymouth. It has spent the past decade restoring the former Naval supplies yard at Royal William Yard, transforming the Grade I and II Listed buildings into contemporary homes and workspaces. Among the businesses moving in this month are Welding Equipment Online and party supplies company, Amscan International.
Emily continued: “We strive to appeal to a broad audience – be that geographically, by company size or by industry. We’re able to do this thanks to a flexible approach – something that’s become popular post-pandemic but that has always been a part of our Urban Splash DNA as we break down barriers and create communities that work for everyone – be that a business at Mersey House looking for a monthly license, to longer term leases elsewhere.”
