L&G adds pair of tenants to Glasgow office

Legal & General has secured two new tenants at 140 West George Street in Glasgow city centre. FDM Group and the Equality & Human Rights Commission have both signed five-year leases on 2,090 sq ft and 2,093 sq ft office suites, respectively. The deals follow the comprehensive refurbishment of 16,000 sq ft building, aiming to deliver best-in-class contemporary and sustainable workspaces. The project has brought L&G’s “capsule” concept to the city for the first time, featuring fully fitted office suites, meeting rooms and pods with hot desks for flexible working and spacious breakout areas. The building is now fully electric, with updated M&E systems and an air quality monitoring system. It has an EPC rating of A, with electric vehicle car charging points in the on-site car park alongside cycle racks, and shower and changing facilities in the building. Martin Speirs, associate director at CBRE, which acted on behalf of L&G, said: “The demand for high-quality, fully fitted office space in Glasgow remains high, particularly in the sub-5,000 sq ft market. “Occupiers prioritise workspace that promotes health and wellbeing for their staff and Legal & General has responded directly to this demand through the considered refurbishment of 140 West George Street, creating best-in-class space in the Glasgow market.” CBRE and Savills are leasing  agents for 140 West George Street. Savills acted for FDM Group; EHRC was unrepresented. View office leasing comparables in Glasgow >>
