Cooke & Arkwright are joint letting agents with Colliers International at Copse Walk. Since purchase in 2016, the landlord has invested in a full renovation programme of the 19,808 sq ft of office suites, where 17,586 sq ft has since been let. Units A to D are fully occupied following the letting to SMS and just one suite of 2,200 sq ft remains available on the ground floor of Unit B.
Rhys Price, surveyor with Cooke & Arkwright’s Business Space team said, “We are pleased to welcome SMS as the latest arrivals to Copse Walk, where we recently let a suite of offices to health economics consultancy, HEOR.
“The offices have been refurbished to an excellent specification and this, combined with their ideal location in close proximity to the M4, makes Copse Walk very attractive to businesses. We are receiving a good level of interest in the remaining ground floor suite in Unit B. This provides 2,200 sq ft of offices which have also been fully refurbished and come with eight car parking spaces.”
