Mapeley has appointed Lambert Smith Hampton and Knight Frank to market 5 Arlington Square, a 96,900 sq ft office scheme in Bracknell.
Nick Coote, head of LSH’s Thames Valley team, said: “While speculative office development stalled in the challenging economic climate, the needs of occupiers moved ahead significantly. These occupiers are using new working trends and priorities to dictate how their business space is designed, fitted-out and used.
“Instead of a room with a desk, they are seeking large floorplates to facilitate collaborative working; advanced technology infrastructure to support current and future business operations; and proximity to transport hubs and road networks.
“Because of the extensive and hi-tech fit-out, 5 Arlington Square ticks all of these boxes.”
Knight Frank Will Foster partner added: “Bracknell is a key Thames Valley office centre. We will be actively targeting large office requirements in the region, but also promoting its heavyweight technical set-up to the TMT sector.”
