Windsor offices to let and lettings – market focus
Steady activity amongst office occupiers has resulted in the same level of annual take up since March 2020 as before. Two primary factors related to this trend are the rise of tech companies and corporates “right sizing” the size of space in their rented portfolio, shuffling to workplace adjustments.
Rumours of brand new lettings in the town in the mid £40s per sq.ft headline level have yet to be verified although they number a significant transaction at Windsor Dials with 60,000 sq.ft let to International Hotel Group and the 48,000 sq.ft. One Victoria Street reported to be under offer to Inter Systems are amongst those transactions which have and are occurring.
At grass roots level Christopher Thomas’s first hand involvement shows prime office rents are steady at £30 per sq.ft. to mid £30’s per sq.ft., older less well parked space nearer late £20’s / £30 per sq.ft. and offices absent of parking generally mid £20’s per sq.ft.
