Cooke & Arkwright’s Retail & Leisure agency has been named a Q2 2020 CoStar Awards Quarterly Deals winner. The award, which is in recognition of the ‘expertise and dedication of the UK’s top agents every quarter’, named Ben Davies’ deal in leasing the ground floor of Ocean Buildings in Bute Crescent, Cardiff Bay to craft brewer, Brew Monster in May.

Commenting on the award, Ben said, “This is Brew Monster’s second Tap House in the Cardiff region and is a valuable addition to Mermaid Quay. It opened once restrictions were eased in August and has traded well, especially given the current circumstances this sector is subject to. Delighted to have won the award and secure a letting during the lockdown period.”

Brew Monster are on the hunt for similar opportunities in the south Wales region. Of particular interest are quirky/non-standard sites that may suit a taproom and bar. For further information on their requirement, please contact Ben Davies.

I have worked with Jeremy Symons over the past three years successfully leasing and buying property in support of my business. I continue to be very pleased with his knowledge of the market and expertise. Our relationship over this time has resulted in acquiring 20,000 sq ft at Capital Business Park in Cardiff, leasing 11,000 sq ft at Southpoint, and subsequently leasing an initial 42,000 sq ft at Parc Bedwas, followed by a succession of expansions of a further 11,000 and then 47,000 sq ft, enabling us to centralise all of our operations at Parc Bedwas in a single 100,000 sq ft facility. The acquisitions were completed at the perfect time for tenant purposes and the rent fixed throughout the term at very economical rates. A job well done.
