Scots legal giant takes space in striking and ‘sought-after’ Glasgow office building
“Across all our offices, we provide modern, technically enabled spaces that support the wellbeing of our colleagues and the importance we place on collaboration” – Stephen Goldie, Brodies
Scottish legal heavyweight Brodies has strengthened its presence in Glasgow after taking more space at a landmark office development.
The firm has agreed a deal to let an additional 10,544 square feet on the seventh floor of 110 Queen Street. The move increases the firm’s total footprint in the striking building to 36,374 sq ft, spanning two full floors on the sixth and seventh levels.
The deal follows Brodies’ recent commitment to a ten-year lease extension, securing its occupancy in the city-centre office building until September 2035.
Stephen Goldie, managing partner at Brodies, said: “Across all our offices, we provide modern, technically enabled spaces that support the wellbeing of our colleagues and the importance we place on collaboration. The expansion of our Glasgow office underlines those commitments, and our wider growth plans, ensuring that we can continue to provide our clients with the environment, as well as the quality of service, that they have grown to expect from our firm.”
Fergus Maclennan of Adapt Commercial Property, who represented the landlord, DWS Group, added: “We are thrilled to conclude our latest letting at 110 Queen Street - our fourth new office letting in the last 12 months, following recent deals with Clyde & Co, WSP and Hitachi Energy. 110 Queen Street remains one of the most sought-after office buildings in Glasgow city centre.”
Since its completion in 2015, 110 Queen Street has maintained full occupancy, with any upcoming availability quickly taken up on new, longer-term leases at increasing rental levels. Existing occupiers, including ACCA, NatWest and Deloitte, have also recently reaffirmed their long-term commitment to the development.
Martin Speirs, director at property consultancy CBRE, said: “CBRE was pleased to advise Brodies on this strategic acquisition and its decision to increase its office footprint, which represents a long-term investment in its people and Glasgow city centre. This move highlights the value organisations place on high-quality space and the role it plays in supporting collaboration, staff wellbeing and long-term success.”
Adapt Commercial Property is the retained leasing agent at 110 Queen Street on behalf of DWS Group. CBRE represented Brodies in the transaction.
