Office News

FHP Property Consultants are have confirm that Network expert Layer 3 has moved to No.1 Nottingham Science Park as part of growth plans.

The company has signed a five-year lease with Blueprint, developers of the iconic University Boulevard building.

Layer 3 recently increased the size of its team from five to nine and is now set to increase its workforce again within 12 months.

Only one suite remains unoccupied in the building, which is the centrepiece of Blueprint’s 12-acre Science Park extension.

Layer 3, which has leased 1,750 square feet, was attracted to its new location by the architectural design of the building, its Grade A office specification, and its ultra-fast fibre broadband connectivity.

Steve D’Arcy, Layer 3 Commercial Director, said:

“This is a much larger space, perfect for our growing business, and a landmark building. It looks good, it is in a great location and it has generated a great vibe for our business. The offices are visually appealing, which creates a positive atmosphere that our customers will love, and there was a good deal on the broadband too, which is an extra bonus.”

He added:

“There is a real sense of community among the tenants here, and it is great to be working alongside like-minded people, and I am already looking into doing some business with one of my neighbours.”

James Hartley of Property consultants FHP added:

“Having been involved with the sciene park for a number of years it is great to see the building evovling in terms of its tenant mix and the interacton between the companies that all seem to thrive together.

I think this letting to Layer 3 will be the latest example of this within the building and I am convinced that we will see them grow and develop during their time in the building.”

Blueprint Development Director, John Long, said:

“We’ve worked hard at Nottingham Science Park to develop a community of genuinely leading edge innovators – some of the best in the region. This latest letting to Layer 3 is good for the park, but more importantly it’s good for Nottingham. These businesses are creating sustainable and high quality jobs.”
