The three recent lettings comprise of suites totalling 1,887sq.ft.

“The space has been designed to suit the way people want to work today, incorporating an on-site gym ONE XPS Fitness and coffee shop Off The Press, as well as quality break out space. There are also meeting rooms of various sizes available at ground floor level and individual meeting rooms in each suite throughout the building.”
