Leading PLC bank takes 7,000 sq ft office near East Midlands Airport

OMEETO, set up last year by commercial property agent Chris Wright, has secured its largest deal so far with the off-market letting of a 7,000 sq ft office near East Midlands Airport to a leading PLC bank.

The deal was on behalf of Futures Housing Group which has moved its head office operations from Ripley to a new 20,000 sq ft freehold office on Pegasus Business Park, Castle Donington.

Working closely with Futures’ acquisition agent, Jody Lauder of LPS Commercial, regarding the intention to let the first floor of the new HQ building, Chris Wright introduced a requirement circulated by global commercial real estate services firm Avison Young.

He was subsequently retained by Futures to broker the deal with Avison Young who were acting on behalf of a leading PLC bank.

Chris Wright of OMEETO explained: “Having established a good working relationship with Jody and Futures, I was able to match the surplus accommodation in the new headquarters building with the requirements of Avison Young’s client before it was officially advertised.

“This is a fantastic way of celebrating our first year in business and puts OMEETO firmly on the region’s commercial property map – proving that taking a proactive and customer-focused approach reaps rewards for all concerned.”

Futures Housing Group operates more than 10,000 affordable homes extending from Derbyshire down to the Daventry area and beyond and has ambitious plans to build more homes across the region by 2023.

The organisation also helps customers through a range of services designed to help them live well and independently. This includes offering money and employment advice and providing extra support to older customers and those with special needs.

Head of people services, Halinka Hepworth, explained: “Having established a positive working environment and culture for our organisation at these new premises, we are delighted that OMEETO have secured the lease of the first floor to such a prestigious company.

“Both organisations will now benefit from this premium central location with unrivalled communications links and high quality facilities.”
