One of Bath’s largest office buildings is set to undergo a £4m transformation.
Royal Mead, next to Bath Spa station, will be completely refurbished to provide 24,700 sq ft of Grade A office space.
Asset manager Alchemy, acting on behalf of CBRE Global Investors, is overseeing the remodelling of the property.
When the new building is complete in April 2022, it will have showers, extensive cycle storage and a CyclingScore ‘Platinum’ rating, according to Alchemy.
The company is also targeting a number of accreditations, including sustainability rating BREEM 'excellent'. Alchemy also said ESG (environmental, social and governance) would be a "key priority" of the project.
Guy Bishop, director of Alchemy Asset Management, said: “With Bath lacking any significant supply of contemporary office accommodation, and with ESG and wellness being key priorities in occupier’s minds, we expect the repositioned Royal Mead to be well received.
"As companies return to the office later this year, there will be a ‘flight to quality’ and Royal Mead will certainly deliver on this.”
Commercial property firms Knight Frank and Lambert Smith Hampton are joint letting agents on the scheme.
Martin Booth, partner at Knight Frank, added: “With its central location and amenity-rich environment, Royal Mead will prove hugely appealing to occupiers seeking to attract employees back into the office.
"The proximity of both the railway and bus stations, together with the outstanding retail and leisure facilities which Bath offers will prove a huge draw.”
