Assura cracks on with Alty HQ overhaul
Having acquired 3 Barrington Road for £8.3m last year, the listed healthcare developer and investor has submitted proposals to redevelop the 1990s office.
After 12 years at Brew House in Warrington, Assura has relocated its headquarters to Altrincham.
The firm will occupy 9,500 sq ft at 3 Barrington Road and has instructed Hawkins\Brown to draw up plans to comprehensively refurbish the entire 35,000 sq ft building.
Speaking earlier this year, Assura chief executive Jonathan Murphy said the aim of the project was to “create an inspirational new environment for our staff”.
Assura’s proposals will build on an earlier refurbishment, which completed in 2020, and improve the energy efficiency of the office.
A rooftop amenity space, a planted wall, and new windows would be added under Assura’s plans.
Eden Planning is advising Assura on its proposals. The project team also includes MAC, Civic Engineers, Atelier Ten, Ignis, Stephen Levrant Heritage Architecture, and Planit.
