SHW secures dual lettings as property manager for The Portland Building

SHW has been appointed by developer MRP as commercial property manager for The Portland Building, a recently completed office scheme in central Brighton.

The 30,000 sq ft building is already 50 per cent let to FTSE 250 banking group Close Brothers, which has taken the first floor, as well as law firm DMH Stallard, which occupies 6,200 sq ft on the ground floor.

Situated on the corner of Church Street and Portland Street, the office is both EPC A and BREEAM Excellent rated for sustainability.

It features rooftop solar panels, cycle spaces, shower facilities, a private courtyard and a communal roof terrace with sea views.

Robin Howland, partner and head of commercial property management at SHW, says: “As a firm, we have been involved with this best-in-class development from the outset, with our agency team retained as letting agents.

“We are now delighted to extend this appointment to the property management of the scheme.

“We have already welcomed Close Brothers, our first occupier to the building and are looking forward to DMH Stallard moving in during the summer.”

Ben MacPhee, development manager at MRP, added: “We are delighted to welcome SHW on board as commercial property manager at The Portland Building.

“Their knowledge and experience of the building and of the area will be invaluable in the day to day running of the scheme and their track record of occupier relations will be an asset to our tenants.”
