Building society leases more Coventry floor space

Posted on by John Cronin

The Coventry Building Society has taken on more office space in one of the biggest office lettings deals seen in the city in 2010.

Having agreed a 15-year lease, the Coventry Building Society has taken 24,000 sq ft of the available 30,000 sq ft within the office block in the Binley Business Park. Oak Tree Court is currently let to Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce (official site) who will continue to lease 6,000 sq ft of the available floor space. The building is owned by Midlands based property company A&J Mucklow. Rental prices have not been disclosed as yet.

The Coventry, now the third largest building society in the UK having merged with the Stroud and Swindon Building Society in September, will continue to occupy the adjacent office building – the 52,000 sq ft Oakfield House.
