Shelborn Asset Management has let 13,358 sq ft at Maxim Park in Scotland to Virgin Media and O2 (VMO2).
The company will move to the Maxim 4 building at the 760,000 sq ft office park – which is located adjacent to the M8 between Glasgow and Edinburgh – next year following completion of internal fit-out works. Shelborn acquired Maxim Park in 2018.
Patricia Cobian, chief financial officer at VMO2, said: “We identified a number of potential locations in our search for a new office in Lanarkshire and have secured our preferred choice, Maxim Park, which is already a thriving business community and the modern, spacious home to a number of the UK’s biggest companies. Located a very short distance from our current Bellshill office, and with excellent amenities and transport links, we are confident that Maxim Park will prove to be a popular choice with our employees who will now have a flexible space to work, collaborate and socialise together on their office days.
“As a flexible employer, Maxim Park is ideally sized to support our hybrid working policies and this long-term commitment is further proof of our exciting property plans which are helping us meet the current and future needs of our business and people.”
Colin Mackenzie, founder of MC2, letting agent at Maxim Park, added: “2024 is proving to be a fantastic year for Maxim. The lettings are testament to the overriding quality of the park and its amenities, as well as our ability to fully accommodate the needs of modern occupiers. Maxim 4 is the second largest building on the park and two well-known corporate occupiers have both identified it as the optimum location for their businesses in a matter of months. There is further occupier interest and more lettings to be announced shortly.”
Martin Spiers, from CBRE who acted on behalf of VMO2, said: “We have been working with our client for an extended period to allow a full strategic review of their occupational needs in the Lanarkshire area. After a comprehensive review and search, Maxim Park was identified as the preferred option. The ability to accommodate the entire requirement on a single floor within one of the most prominent buildings at Maxim Park, as well as being adjacent the amenity hub were key factors in the decision-making process.”
