BMT has signed a lease for space on the second floor and the entire third floor at No.1 Bath Quays.
The new tenant will join the software provider Altus and financial services consultancy Fidelius, who were the first companies to take space in the building, moving in last year.
Councillor Paul Roper, Cabinet Member for Economic And Cultural Sustainable Development, said: “We are pleased to welcome BMT to No.1.
“It is fantastic that we have been able to offer suitable space to a global company to allow them to bring their staff together in a modern building close to the heart of Bath.
“The Bath Quays project is key to the council’s commitment to support and regenerate our city centre. This new letting shows that there is demand for Grade A office space in this city.”
Phil Metcalfe, Regional Business Director for UK and Europe at BMT, added: “We are very much looking forward to moving into Bath Quays; a fresh, contemporary and sustainable office space which aligns with our values and growth ambition.
“This high quality office and collaboration space matches our flexible working approach while significantly improving sustainability and contributing to the BMT brand experience across all our sites. Good for our people, our customers and the environment.”
No.1 Bath Quays is sited within the 4.5-acre Bath Quays regeneration site that spans the north and south banks of the River Avon, linked by a pedestrian and cycling bridge.
The Grade A building was the first new office block to be built in Bath for a generation.
Knight Frank acted as the agent for Bath & North East Somerset Council at No. 1 Bath Quays. The property and estate is managed by Savills.
Andy Smith, partner at Knight Frank, said: “Bath & North East Somerset Council’s bold move to speculatively construct No.1 Bath Quays has been really well received by the market.
“BMT have been looking for top quality space for a long time and the delivery of No.1 Bath Quays was an ideal solution.
“We are speaking to a number of interested parties about taking space at the building, however we would welcome calls from any occupiers who may be interested in the building/scheme.
“The quality and flexibility of the space on offer at No.1 Bath Quays will appeal to companies that value their staff and are looking for the right business environment in which to thrive.”
