Knight Frank - Offices Letting - Newcastle

Date: 28 Apr 2008

Cyril Sweett, the leading international construction and property consultancy, is moving into new offices in the heart of Newcastle's historic Grainger Town.

The highly-regarded consultancy is taking 2,687 sq ft of fully refurbished office space at 20 Collingwood Street.

This is the first letting at 20 Collingwood Street, which offers a total 10,624 sq ft of open plan office accommodation over four floors. The landlord and developer is Avenda Estates.

The building is currently being fully refurbished to an exceptional standard and provides open plan Grade A office accommodation, including comfort cooling and Cat 5 cabling.

Patrick Matheson of joint letting agents Knight Frank commented: "We are delighted to be able to welcome such a high-profile company as Cyril Sweett to 20 Collingwood Street".

He explained: "The building has been transformed into high-quality office accommodation and the fact that Cyril Sweet has chosen 20 Collingwood Street before completion of the refurbishment is a fantastic endorsement of the quality of the accommodation and the location, which is only two minutes from Newcastle Central Station.

"One of the USP's that the building has is the fact that Avenda have already installed Catt 5 cabling which is a huge benefit in terms of time and cost for an ingoing tenant. In addition to the letting to Cyril Sweet, we also have strong interest in several other floors of the building," he added.

Cyril Sweett is a leading international construction and property consultancy offering expertise in cost consultancy, project management, building surveying and a comprehensive range of specialist consulting services. Cyril Sweett has 28 offices throughout the United Kingdom, Australia, France, India, Ireland, Singapore, Spain and the United Arab Emirates.

Ian Etchells, Project Director at Cyril Sweett commented: "Myself and my colleagues are really excited to have moved to Collingwood Street, as it is a key location and provides us with a modern, state of the art environment. Our aim is to double the headcount of our people by the end of the year and our new premises give us the ability to expand."
