New occupier breaks the mould in Cardiff

Orchard Street Investment Management LLP, advised by Savills and E J Hales, has let space at 9A The Brewery Quarter, Cardiff to Breakout Cardiff Ltd.

Live escape game concept Breakout Cardiff Ltd has taken a new five-year lease for a self-contained office suite located on the second floor, totalling 2564 sq ft (238 sq m). An annual rent of £25,640 has been agreed.

Breakout Cardiff Ltd, which already has lettings in Manchester and Liverpool, offers participants a live escape game experience, similar to The Crystal Maze. Located in the popular Brewery Quarter development, less than a two-minute walk from Cardiff Central Station, the letting will see the installation of Cardiff’s first live games centre.

Ed Roberts, director of Breakout, says: “ This is a very exciting time for Breakout. I was born in Swansea and have a strong link to Wales and its culture. This will be the first new site of hopefully three to open up across the UK in 2016.”

Gary Carver, director at Savills Cardiff, comments: “The Brewery Quarter is a top quality leisure destination and is an ideal location for Breakout. When we were given their brief it was clear this would be a great option for them.”

Phillip Morris of EJ Hales adds: “Our clients were keen to attract an occupier who would add to the already great mix of occupiers in the Brewery Quarter and Breakout fitted the bill perfectly. We wish them every success.”
