The building itself is set around a central quadrant and comprises of four inter-connecting blocks, each arranged on four and five floors, which are available on a floor-by-floor or single office basis.
The ground floor of the building’s West Point has recently been the subject of a refurbishment programme to create the Cardinal Business Centre, which comprises 4,500 sq ft of serviced office accommodation.
Following the successful letting of the first phase, a further 4,500 sq ft of serviced office accommodation has now been created.
The investment in the building appears to be reaping dividends for Nurton.
