Benson Elliot has agreed more than 60,000 sq ft of leases in its portfolio of regional offices in Q1 2015.
In Manchester, Benson Elliot let 17,000 sq ft at 55 Princess Street to Trowers & Hamlins on a 10-year lease.
The firm also let 13,000 sq ft to Blue Speck Financial and 10,400 sq ft to Mott MacDonald at the 10 Templeback scheme in Bristol.
Benson Elliot also let 8,600 sq ft to Colliers at 11 Brindleyplace in Birmingham.
James Jakeman, principal at Benson Elliot, said: “When we bought 55 Princess Street, we had a conviction view that economic growth spreading outwards from London would reward us for taking some carefully calibrated letting risk in markets with limited availability of Grade A office stock. We think this recovery has further to run, and expect to see further letting successes as the year progresses.”
