Film and TV production firm Codex renews lease at Royal Leamington Spa
Royal Leamington Spa's credentials as a digital production hotspot have been further burnished as TV, film and video production firm Codex has renewed its lease at Regent Square House in the centre of the town.
Acquired by Boundary Real Estate Partners in 2021, the building, which has undergone refurbishment, offers 20,000 sq ft of high-quality office space over three floors above a ground floor retail space.
Codex offers digital production workflow tools for independent films, Hollywood motion pictures, commercial and TV productions all around the world. It has now extended its original five-year lease at the building for a further six years.

"Royal Leamington Spa has become one of the UK’s largest digital production and gaming industry hubs, historically starting with Codemasters (now owned by EA) who moved to the outskirts of Leamington as their business grew and are still headquartered here today," noted Charlie Walker, founding partner at Boundary.
"More recently, Facebook owner Meta and Sumo Group have taken space in the town centre.
"What these companies are looking for is quality offices, with large floorplates in the centre of town, which is quite hard to come by, and we are delighted to be able to offer this space at Regent Square House and invest in a place where companies and their staff want to be."
Among the building's other occupiers is Pixel Toys which has spent almost a decade pushing the capabilities of mobile and VR gaming.
The award-winning company has developed games such Warhammer, Drop Dead and Gunfinger.
The building’s central location means occupiers are in a vibrant, mixed-use environment, with access to a range of business, retail and leisure facilities including the Royal Priors shopping centre.
