Mott MacDonald latest firm to take space at 10 Templeback

Global management, engineering and development consultancy Mott MacDonald is to become the latest tenant at 10 Templeback, Bristol.

News of the deal comes just two weeks after Momentum Financial Ltd moved into the building, which is asset managed by London-based Cube Real Estate on behalf of its owner, Benson Elliot.

Mott MacDonald hopes to move its 100-strong team from its Prince Street, Bristol address in June 2015.

The consultancy is taking 10,000 sq ft on the ground floor of the building on a ten year lease, accommodating up to 125 people. There is now just 41,000 sq ft left at the building, with another two units currently under offer.

Mark Shields, office manager at Mott MacDonald in Bristol, said: “We chose 10 Templeback because it offered Grade A office space at a stunning waterfront location, which is typically very hard to come by.

“Our new premises will give us the opportunity to strengthen and expand our service offering while improving operations efficiency, allowing our staff to work more closely and with our clients.”

Jonathan Lawes, asset manager at Cube, continued: “The interest we’ve had in 10 Templeback is phenomenal. With two deals done and another two on the way, we are confident the building will be fully let before long.

“The offices are in a prime city centre location and offer modern, bright and adaptable workspaces on flexible terms, in line with today’s business demands.”

The real estate firm has been granted planning permission to improve the arrival experience at 10 Templeback with a re-designed entrance and re-modelled reception. The firm also plans to create a new shower hub in the car park which will include cycle racks, showers, a drying room and lockers to further enhance the building’s green credentials and promote sustainable travel. The building already has a ferry stop.

10 Templeback is a 123,000 sq ft building and one of Bristol’s most prominent Grade A office developments. The waterfront building is one of the city’s greenest buildings and is available to new tenants on tailor made attractive terms.

NFU Mutual currently occupies two floors but substantial high quality space remains across three floors.

10 Templeback is being jointly marketed by DTZ and Alder King.
