CBRE’s Liverpool Office Agency team has been instructed as sole letting agents by Wirral Borough Council to market two Grade A new build offices totalling 147,767 sq ft in Birkenhead.
Currently under construction, the scheme is earmarked for completion in Autumn 2023, the only new build offices due for completion in the Liverpool City region this year.
The scheme, being developed through the Wirral Growth Company, a 50:50 partnership between Wirral Borough Council and Muse will deliver two office buildings extending to a total of 147,767 sq ft.
Wirral Borough Council will be occupying most (65,447 sq ft) of Building One, leaving part of the ground floor and the whole of the first floor available. Building Two, comprising 58,176 sq ft of office space is also available.
Neil Kirkham, Senior Director at CBRE commented, “CBRE is delighted to market this truly high-quality asset on behalf of Wirral Borough Council. The scheme will be the only new build office completing in the Liverpool City region this year and will provide the quality of product that is missing and in high demand in the market currently.
“These are exciting times for Birkenhead, following developments at Wirral Waters, together with the numerous projects Wirral Borough Council is delivering within its Birkenhead 2040 vision including Dock Branch Park, Hind Street Urban Garden Village, and further commercial district development such as a new ‘repositioned’ Birkenhead Market.
“Birkenhead has not seen a speculative office scheme in the town centre for 20 years and we are therefore fully anticipating these buildings are going to satisfy a lot of pent up demand for space in the market.”
David Hughes, Director or Regeneration and Place for Wirral Council said, “This scheme represents an exciting opportunity for businesses looking for modern, sustainable, first-rate office space in the Liverpool City Region.
“These buildings will make a positive contribution to the regeneration of Birkenhead, which is currently undergoing significant transformation through a range of other projects. This development is a testament to our commitment to delivering high-quality assets that meet the needs of businesses and the wider community.
“I look forward to working closely with CBRE to bring these buildings to market and to welcoming new tenants to this vibrant and dynamic area of Wirral.”
