Savills has unveiled plans to relocate its Cambridge office from Unex House in Hills Road to three new premises in the spring.
The firm’s development, planning, rural, commercial agency and project management teams are relocating to the second floor of Botanic House at 98-100 Hills Road, the residential sales and lettings teams will move to a satellite office at 1 Brooksgate and the finance and accounts teams are moving to the recently refurbished Generator building on Newmarket Road. The company has agreed 10-year leases on the three sites.
Savills first opened an office in Cambridge in 1978 and currently employs 170 people in the city.
Tom Fraser, head of office at Savills Cambridge, said: “We have enjoyed an incredible 22 years at Unex House and the building has served us incredibly well. However, we had an opportunity not only to move into one of the city’s most prominent buildings, but to establish new satellite offices that are perfectly aligned to our business – providing a spacious, flexible and contemporary home for the benefit of our staff and clients alike.
“It’s a very exciting new chapter for Savills in Cambridge and we’re delighted to have committed our long term future to the city. We now employ 170 people and this latest move will help us to fulfil our plans for future growth while maintaining our high standards of service. Our workplace is a reflection of our culture, ambition and the calibre of talent we aim to attract and retain and we look forward to welcoming friends and clients old and new.”
Ed Meyer, head of residential sales at Savills Cambridge, added: “This move further reinforces our commitment to Cambridge and the wider eastern region – ensuring we are well placed to continue to provide the best possible service for our clients. Despite a more challenging market we secured some strong results last year and we are excited about the opportunities ahead. This undoubtedly comes down to the strength of our team and we will continue to invest as we look to grow our business and increase market share in key areas.”
