Bristol is on course for its highest take-up of city centre office space since 2007, according to Knight Frank.
During the third quarter, take-up reached 140,273 sq ft, bringing the figure for the year to date to 435,623 sq ft.
The agent said a further 200,000 sq ft is under offer and scheduled to complete in Q4.
Knight Frank Bristol office associate Andy Smith said: “Every quarter this year has been above the five-year average and, with out-of-town take up also set to be the highest since 2010, I believe there is a very real prospect of Greater Bristol breaking the 1m sq ft barrier for office take up in 2014.”
In the out-of-town market, Q3 take up, at 118,075 sq ft, was also an improvement on each of the preceding two quarters and the highest quarterly take up since Q2 2010.
Take-up to the end of Q3 reached 338,027 sq ft, already exceeding the total take up in 2011, 2012 and 2013 respectively.
