Hargreaves Lansdown has signed for 90,000 sq ft of office space across three floors of the Welcome Building in Bristol.
The deal, which is reportedly the largest Bristol city centre letting since Q4 2019, will see the retail investment platform relocate to the building from its current Harbourside office in the city.
The 207,000 sq ft Welcome Building is being delivered by a joint venture between EPISO 5, a fund managed by Tristan Capital Partners, and Trammell Crow Company.
Gary Logan, chief operating officer at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “We chose Welcome Building for its excellent transport links, next-generation workspace, fantastic amenities and strong ESG credentials – something that is increasingly important for our business and clients. Colleagues will benefit from a workplace that has been designed with their needs, health and happiness firmly in mind, encouraging a spirit of collaboration, community and positive impact.”
Toby Pentecost, senior vice president and head of UK offices at Trammell Crow Company, added: “We’re thrilled to announce the addition of Hargreaves Lansdown to Welcome Building. Attracting such a high quality British name and renowned Bristol-based business on a long-term lease is testament to the building’s exceptional credentials, from its city centre location, flexible floorplates and amenity-rich spaces, to the highest environmental and wellbeing standards.”
James Brodie, managing director of Tristan Capital Partners, said: “Welcome Building sets a new bar for sustainability and user experience not just in Bristol but UK-wide. It provides a well-located, high quality, beautiful and vibrant working environment where people and businesses can truly thrive. We are excited to welcome Hargreaves Lansdown to join this growing, dynamic community.”
