AGENT Till Asset Management has secured a major letting at 210 Birchwood Boulevard, Warrington, with Fortune Global 500 energy management and automation specialist Schneider Electric taking 18,555 sq ft across the ground and first floors.
The deal, with a quoting rent of £20 per sq ft., follows a significant repositioning of the building following the departure of former occupier Avios, which had occupied the property for more than 20 years. More than £3 million has been invested in a comprehensive refurbishment programme to transform 210 Birchwood Boulevard into a best-in-class office environment aligned with the evolving needs of modern occupiers.
The building has been fully decarbonised with the installation of a VRF air conditioning system throughout and now boasts an EPC A rating. The building also benefits from a feature reception/business lounge, communal meeting rooms, gym and EV charging provisions.
Schneider Electric, advised by CBRE, is set to occupy more than half of the building’s total 33,204 sq ft accommodation. The refurbishment programme was adapted to accommodate its bespoke requirements.
Nathan Lang, asset manager at Till Asset Management, says: “Following the departure of Avios, our objective was to reposition 210 Birchwood Boulevard as one of the premier office buildings in the Birchwood market. The comprehensive refurbishment has transformed the asset into a modern, highly sustainable workplace capable of meeting the requirements of leading occupiers. Securing Schneider Electric on a long-term commitment is a strong endorsement of both the building and the wider Warrington market.”
Ed Keany of Edwards adds: “A key factor in securing tenants of this nature is a proactive management approach and commitment to quality, design and sustainability which aligned with the tenant’s ambitions.”
Ed Keany continues: “This letting reflects the continued strength of demand for best-in-class office accommodation in the North West and demonstrates the appeal of well-invested, future-focused assets.”
The second floor, which extends to 11,087 sq ft, remains available and is already attracting strong interest from prospective occupiers seeking high-quality office accommodation in the region. The floor has been finished to a CAT A+ standard, with a high-quality kitchen facility and feature boardroom.
OBI Property and Edwards are the retained joint letting agents for 210 Birchwood Boulevard. TILL Asset Management act as Investment Managers on the scheme.
