MSB Solicitors makes 9,500 sq ft Liverpool switch

Moving from No.4 St Paul’s to a larger office in No.5 across the way, the law firm’s deal was the largest in Liverpool in Q3.

MSB Solicitors has relocated its Liverpool head office a short distance from its home of 10 years, moving from 6,100 sq ft on the first floor of No.4 St Paul’s to Forma Real Estate’s No.5 St Paul’s.

MSB’s new office is located on the seventh floor and is 3,400 sq ft larger than the old one, reflecting the business’s growth over recent years. The firm has signed a 10-year lease and will pay £26.50/sq ft.

Worthington Owen advised Forma and MSB, while Aztec Interiors designed the fit-out.

Emma Carey, managing partner at MSB Solicitors, said: “We are incredibly proud of our new office at No.5 St Paul’s Square. The move represents another important step in MSB’s continued growth and development as a firm.

“As MSB has grown, so have the needs of our people and our clients. We wanted our new office to provide a better working environment for our staff, more collaborative spaces for our teams and a modern, welcoming setting for our clients and partners.

“The new office has been designed around how we work today, while also giving us the flexibility and space to support the future growth of the firm. This move is about much more than a new office. It is about investing in our people, our clients and the next stage of MSB’s journey.”

The transaction was the largest in Liverpool during the third quarter, accounting for 20% of the 50,000 sq ft of space leased during July, August and September.

Around 150,000 sq ft of office space across the city is under offer, and agents are hopeful that long-awaited projects, including Pall Mall and Martins Bank, could start on site soon, providing vital supply that will allow rents to grow.
