Work is set to start on the six-figure overhaul of a Nottingham office block to accommodate an expanding software firm.
ENSEK is expanding its operations in the city by taking 15,500 sq ft of office space across two floors of Hounds Gate.
Now, London & Scottish Property Investment Management, which is the asset manager on behalf of Regional REIT, is poised to embark on the £800,000 refurbishment project.
The revamp, which is part of a 10-year lease agreement, will include stripping back and refitting the ground and first floors, doubling the size of the reception area, installing new air conditioning and upgrading other communal areas including the toilets.
Work will commence later this year and is expected to be completed in early 2021.
ENSEK provides organisations in the energy market with technology, outsourcing and advisory services to improve their business performance and competitiveness.
Steven Griffiths, head of asset management at London & Scottish, said: “We are excited about starting work on such a comprehensive refurbishment programme.
“The existing office space will be stripped right back before being modernised and turned into a great place to work.”
Mark Tomlinson, from FHP Property Consultants, said: “We have been working with ENSEK for some time to source suitable premises to accommodate their expansion within Nottingham.
“The company has been expanding at a fantastic rate over the last few years and had a requirement to bring two separate office locations under one roof and to build further expansion into their requirements.
“Such is the lack of available good quality office space in Nottingham city centre, this property was presented to ENSEK in an off-market deal subject to a full refurbishment.”
