Pinsent Masons moves to Aurora building in Glasgow
Pinsent Masons has announced it has agreed to lease more than 31,000 sq ft of Grade A office space in the Aurora building at 120 Bothwell Street, Glasgow.
Located in the city’s international business district and regarded as one of Scotland’s most sustainable office developments, Pinsent Masons will join other tenants at Aurora including PwC, News UK and energy company SSE.
On-site amenities at Aurora include a 4,000 sq ft rooftop terrace, enhanced reception with flexible meeting spaces, a new café space, auditorium facilities, town hall meeting space, a podcast studio, wellness area and fitness studio, and for commuting staff 200 cycle racks with spa quality changing facilities and showers.
Aurora’s environmental credentials including net zero carbon in operation and a focus on a biophilic design help set the building apart as Glasgow’s most sustainable office.
Pinsent Masons’ 300-plus lawyers and support staff will be located on the first and fourth floors of the building extending to over 31,000 sq ft after agreeing a 10 year lease with an option to extend for a further five years.
Barry McCaig, partner and head of Glasgow at the firm, said: “Aurora’s location is excellent, the facilities are second-to-none and we are very much looking forward to continuing to represent our clients from our new home in the heart of Glasgow’s financial district.
“Aurora’s development manager, HFD Property Group, is a long-term client of our firm and our strong relationship will ensure a seamless move once a state-of-the-art fit-out project has been completed.”
Pinsent Masons and Orion have mutually agreed to terminate the lease agreement for Lucent, 50 Bothwell Street, Glasgow.
