NIU SOLUTIONS EXPAND INTO ADDITIONAL OFFICE SPACE IN BAGSHOT

Acting on behalf of niu Solutions, DB Real Estate can announce that niu Solutions, the IT and telecoms services company, have taken an additional 1,100 sq ft of office space within Seal House, on London Road, in Bagshot. 

niu Solutions had to find additional office space to accommodate their expanding workforce and DB Real Estate were able to identify underutilised space within niu Solutions existing building, persuade the tenant of that space to sub-let part and agree terms for niu Solutions to occupy the space.  Both niu Solutions and the previous occupier are delighted with the new arrangement.

niu Solutions will be looking for a longer term solution, a new larger office, in the near future possibly in the order of 6-7,000 sq ft and DB Real Estate will be starting a new search for a suitable facility shortly.

GREEN LIGHT FOR MASSIVE TESCO WAREHOUSE

Tesco has received planning consent for a 900,000 sq ft distribution warehouse at Whitely, South Reading on the site of the former Courage Brewery, which overlooks Junction 11 of the M4.  Anyone who travels on the M4 will immediately recognise the site as the location of the huge wind turbine which sits next to the M4.

Both Reading and Wokingham Borough Councils’ planning committees approved the scheme as the site straddles both boroughs.

The aim is to open the warehouse by Christmas 2012. James Wiggam of Tesco said: “We are proud to be able to bring jobs and investment to Reading. We have worked closely with the local community and council to develop these proposals and have been overwhelmed by the positive response to them.”

It is estimated that the site will create 1,000 jobs in the area and the construction phase of the project would also provide more than 150 jobs.

The distribution warehouse will be built to BREAM Excellent standards.

SHARPS BEDROOMS LTD MOVE INTO CAMBERLEY TOWN CENTRE

Acting on behalf of Symyx (now Accelrys), DB Real Estate can announce that Sharps Bedrooms Ltd, have taken nearly 6,000 sq ft of leasehold office space within Norwich House, on Knoll Road, Camberley, proving that you should never give up marketing premises, even when there are only a few months to run before a lease expires!

Symyx hold a lease which expires in March 2012, but the space was surplus to their needs, so earlier in the year Gerald Eve and DB Real Estate were instructed to try and dispose of the space, a very difficult task with only a short lease left to run.  However, DB Real Estate identified Sharps Bedrooms and agreed a short term sub-letting and a simultaneous new lease direct from the landlord.  The letting was agreed and documented in double quick time and Symyx, the landlord and Sharps Bedrooms are all delighted with the outcome.

Symex have made savings that they were never expecting whilst the landlord has a new occupier and Sharps Bedrooms have great new office space.
