ESTATE and letting agent Robb Residential has signed a new 10-year lease for 1,554 square feet of space on the ground floor of The Beacon, a modern, open-plan space in Glasgow city centre.
Savills has secured the new letting on the ground floor of 176 St Vincent Street on behalf of Robt Jones Beacon, a private landlord, leaving only one floor remaining.
Robb Residential joins a stellar line-up of tenants including QBE Insurance, Marks & Clerk LLP, and FRP Advisory which have all recently acquired refurbished space in The Beacon.
Colin McGhee, director in the office leasing team at Savills in Glasgow, described the building’s credentials of prominent street frontage and quality office space as “well suited” to Robb Residential.
“The letting takes the building to nearly 90 per cent let since refurbishment completed last year,” Mr McGhee added.
Iain Robb of Robb Residential, who has decades of experience in the property sector, noted that the middle-to-prime market estate and letting agent has been operating from the corner of St Vincent Street and Wellington Street for 22 years. “We are delighted to be continuing to operate from our now new, expanded HQ in The Beacon building,” he said.
“We thank the landlords, agents Savills and Avison Young for their assistance in arranging this deal which sees our firm remaining in our established address and we look forward to exciting times ahead for our firm.”
Robb Residential was advised by Avison Young whose associate director Michael Facenna added: “Given the nature of our client’s business, they required a prominent ground-floor location in a core central location and this, coupled with the quality of the space available, made The Beacon the obvious choice.”
The remaining third floor of the building totals 4,500 square feet and is offered for let at £26 per square feet.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
