Liverpool Law Society establishes new commercial district base

Liverpool Law Society has moved into a new base in the heart of Liverpool’s commercial district.

The organisation, which represents, promotes and supports solicitors in the Liverpool City Region and the wider North West area, relocated to a 2,401 sq ft unit on the second floor of L3 Helix, Edmund Street.

Commercial property agency Hitchcock Wright & Partners secured the deal on behalf of the site’s owner, Palladium Group.

The letting is the first at L3 Helix since the property was created with the multi-million pound refurbishment of adjoining offices Stanley Hall and Nations House, which were renamed L3 Honeycomb and L3 Helix.

Together, the two sites offer 40,603 sq ft of office accommodation.

Palladium Group chairman Spencer Bourne said: “This is our first venture into the Liverpool office market having recently acquired four office buildings totaling 41,000 sq ft on Chester Business Park which was the initial extent of our North West property investment portfolio.

“We have a belief in the depth of the occupational market here and on current levels of initial interest in both buildings we are confident we will receive high levels of interest and let the space quickly.”

Hitchcock Wright partner Brian Ricketts commented: “We are delighted to have secured this letting for Palladium Group, especially to such a high profile tenant.

“The deal reflects the level and capital investment committed by the Palladium Group, which has given us great confidence in securing lettings on the remaining available suites in both buildings.”

Liverpool Law Society was represented by property advisory firm GVA on the deal.

Ian Steele of GVA said: “We were impressed by both the quality and standard of the refurbishment works at Helix and given its location, the building was ideally suited to the Society’s future occupational and operational requirements.”
