Global BBQ manufacturer Weber and IT solutions provider XMA have signed for new UK HQs at Campus, Reading International.
Weber, which is relocating from Hammersmith, has taken a fully fitted 5,437 sq ft unit and XMA, which was previously based in Hertfordshire, has signed for 7,654 sq ft.
Both businesses have agreed five-year leases with earlier break clauses at Campus, which was recently refurbished by Alchemy Asset Management and Tristan Capital Partners.
Guy Bishop, director at Alchemy Asset Management, said: “The latest phase of fully fitted suites at Campus reflects the evolving needs of today’s office occupiers, who increasingly prioritise high quality, ready-to-occupy space without having to fit-out, which requires substantial capex together with other resources and skills not always readily available inside their organisation.
“By delivering three thoughtfully designed, fully fitted suites, and already completing two significant lettings before completion, we are demonstrating both the strength of demand and our commitment to setting a new benchmark for Cat A+ workspace in the South East. The leasing evidence at Campus also shows we are repeatedly securing a 25% premium over rents for non-fitted space in the same building.
“We have now delivered 11 fully fitted suites with Tristan at Campus, with the quality and delivery of each improving every time. We are proud to support innovative brands like Weber and XMA by providing spaces that enable them to thrive.”
There one fully fitted unit of 3,114 sq ft available to let at Campus at a quoting rent of £47.50/sq ft. Savills and Bray Fox Smith are joint letting agents at the scheme.
