Finance giant KPMG and food group Billington have signed up to landmark Liverpool office tower The Plaza as owner Bruntwood SciTech says the building is at 97% occupancy.
Historic Building Nears Full Capacity
The Plaza was built in the 1960s for the Littlewoods empire and has been owned by Bruntwood for more than 20 years. It underwent a £3.7m refurbishment in 2022, and the building's ground floor includes Michelin Guide restaurant Nord and a branch of Bold Street coffee.
Bruntwood SciTech says The Billington Group has now taken 5,687 sq ft of space in the building, with professional services firm KPMG and wealth manager Hoxton Wealth each taking 2,583 sq ft. That takes the 352,000 sq ft building to 97% occupancy.
Meanwhile Bruntwood SciTech – a joint venture between Bruntwood, L&G and the Greater Manchester Pension Fund – is adding a gym to the building's ground floor.
Positive Response from Landlord
Sam Birtwistle, associate commercial director at Bruntwood SciTech, said: “These latest lettings demonstrate the breadth of demand we're seeing at The Plaza, from global professional services firms to established regional businesses, all choosing the building for the quality, location and environment it offers their teams.
“As we continue to invest in the building, including the introduction of new amenities like the ground floor gym, we're focused on ensuring The Plaza is a place where businesses and their people can thrive. We want to create an environment where people want to work and one that supports wellbeing, encourages collaboration and helps teams to be more productive and balanced day to day.”
