Commercial law firm Burness Paull has completed a letting at BAM TCP Atlantic Square development in Glasgow’s International Financial Services District
Burness Paull will take a 10-year lease on the fourth floor of the sustainably built office accommodation, which ranges across six floors with 7,000 sq ft retail and restaurant space on the ground floor.
‘The highest standard of environmental credentials’
Tamar Tammes, managing partner at Burness Paull commented: “After a two-year search across the city we believe we have found the ideal home at 2 Atlantic Square.
“Our goal was to find a new base for our colleagues in Glasgow that was not only tailored to our new hybrid working principles, but also met the highest standard of environmental credentials.
“It is an impressive building in an area undergoing rapid transformation into the heart of Glasgow’s business district.
“Moving there sets us up perfectly for modern flexible working and ensures that clients and colleagues have easy access to a full range of transport connections.”
The £150m, grade A Atlantic Square development totals 300,000 sq ft across three separate buildings.
The 10-storey 1 Atlantic Square covers 187,000sq ft and was pre-let to the UK Government as part of the HMRC Hubs program, forward funded by Legal & General Investment Management. It will house over 2000 Government employees.
‘One of Scotland’s most prestigious legal firms’
Dougie Peters, BAM Properties’ managing director, said: “This letting to one of Scotland’s most prestigious legal firms is a reflection of the stature of the accommodation, for which there is continuing market interest.
“It shows that there remains a strong future for commercial office space in Glasgow and the quality of the accommodation forms part of occupiers’ approach to attracting and retaining talent.”
Atlantic Square was designed by BAM Design and Cooper Cromer Architects, constructed by BAM Construction Scotland, and developed by BAM Properties in a joint venture with Taylor Clark.
