Switch secures new letting for scheme

Aug 29 2007 by Tony McDonough, Liverpool Daily Post

SEFTON commercial development, Switch House, has secured a further letting of 3,500 sq ft.

Nemesis Network Solutions is to occupy the office space within the Switch House scheme, leaving just one more suite free at the Dunningsbridge Road site.

The Grade A scheme, which houses five office suites, has proved popular with businesses due to its close proximity to the M57 and M58 motorways, one of Liverpool’s busiest transport hubs.

The deal follows the recent 7,500 sq ft letting to Merseycare NHS Trust and reflects the demand for out of town office locations, with site owner Maghull Group expecting the last remaining suite of approximately 3,600 sq ft to be let imminently. Andy Owen, from commercial property consultants Mason Owen, said that, increasingly, there were many businesses looking for opportunities in this area.

He added: “More and more developments are appearing on or close to Dunningsbridge Road because of its excellent road transport links, but few occupy such a prime site as Switch House.

“This deal has secured a prime rental figure of £13.50 per square foot which shows a growing confidence in North Liverpool’s commercial and particularly office market.”

The Switch House development comprises 25,000 sq ft of Grade A commercial office space and 72 on-site car parking spaces.
