BMT, a maritime-orientated high-end design house and technical consulting firm, is the latest tenant to take space in Bath & North East Somerset Council’s prestigious office building located on the riverfront at Bath Quays.
The company has signed a lease for 5,655 sq. ft on the second floor and the entire third floor of 11, 323 sq. ft at No.1 Bath Quays.
The new tenant will join the software provider Altus and financial services consultancy Fidelius who were the first companies to take space in the prestigious building, moving in last year.
Councillor Paul Roper, Cabinet Member for Economic And Cultural Sustainable Development, said: “We are pleased to welcome BMT to No.1. It is fantastic that we have been able to offer suitable space to a global company to allow them to bring their staff together in a modern building close to the heart of Bath. The Bath Quays project is key to the council’s commitment to support and regenerate our city centre. This new letting shows that there is demand for Grade A office space in this city.”
Phil Metcalfe, Regional Business Director for UK and Europe at BMT, commented: "We are very much looking forward to moving into Bath Quays; a fresh, contemporary and sustainable office space which aligns with our values and growth ambition. This high quality office and collaboration space matches our flexible working approach while significantly improving sustainability and contributing to the BMT brand experience across all our sites. Good for our people, our customers and the environment.”
The No.1 office building was awarded an ‘A’ Energy Efficiency Certification and has a host of passive design and energy efficiency measures to reduce its CO2 emissions including a special coating on the windows to reduce heat loss and gain and 224 PV panels on its roof allowing on-site micro generation of electricity.
It provides 44,470 sq. ft of exceptional office accommodation over four open plan floors and ground floor business space, with VRF air conditioning, LED lighting, 13 secure parking spaces and 106 cycle racks, with eight electric charging spaces to be provided.
Knight Frank acted as the agent for Bath and North East Somerset Council at No. 1 Bath Quays. The property and estate is managed by Savills.
