The advertised office accommodation includes suites of approximately 4,962 sq ft, with space recorded across the third, fifth and sixth floors. However, the property records also report zero vacant space and 100% leased occupancy despite the advertised availability schedule. Prospective occupiers should therefore confirm current availability and leasing arrangements directly.
