Schneider Electric agrees 18,600 sq ft Warrington deal 

The French Fortune 500 firm has signed a lease for two floors at Birchwood Property Group’s 210 Birchwood Boulevard.

Currently based at Europa House a short distance away, €40bn-turnover Schneider Electric will occupy 18,555 sq ft across the ground and first floors at the recently refurbished building, which was previously called Pacific House.

Till Asset Management has overseen the 33,200 sq ft building’s £3m refurbishment on behalf of Birchwood Property Group following the departure of previous tenant Avios.

The refurb brought 210 Birchwood Boulevard’s EPC rating up to an A and the building also features communal meeting rooms, a gym, and EV charging.

Schneider Electric was advised by CBRE and Edwards Property Consultants acted for Till Asset Management.

Nathan Lang, asset manager at Till Asset Management, says: “Following the departure of Avios, our objective was to reposition 210 Birchwood Boulevard as one of the premier office buildings in the Birchwood market.

“The comprehensive refurbishment has transformed the asset into a modern, highly sustainable workplace capable of meeting the requirements of leading occupiers. Securing Schneider Electric on a long-term commitment is a strong endorsement of both the building and the wider Warrington market.”

Ed Keany, director at Edwards Property Consultants, said: “A key factor in securing tenants of this nature is a proactive management approach and commitment to quality, design and sustainability which aligned with the tenant’s ambitions

“This letting reflects the continued strength of demand for best-in-class office accommodation in the North West and demonstrates the appeal of well-invested, future-focused assets.”

The 11,000 sq ft second floor remains available.

OBI Property and Edwards are the retained joint letting agents for 210 Birchwood Boulevard.
