BELL-INGRAM has concluded the pre-let of the major part of a 32,000
sq.ft office block, which has yet to be built in Ayr's Carrick Street.
Based on a general remit provided by Property Holdings Scotland on
behalf of the Employment Service in October 1991, the Carrick Street
transaction involved identifying a suitable site, purchase at an
acceptable price, and subsequent negotiations with both the local
planning department and Property Holdings Scotland on specification, and
lease terms and conditions.
John Cowan, Bell-Ingram director in Ayr, comments: ''After nine months
of negotiation, I can report the successful achievement of a total of
approx 18,000 sq.ft of office accommodation in Carrick Street. The
initial rental for the property has been fixed at #234,000 per annum, an
overall rate of #13 per sq.ft.
''This particular development is the first of several planned by R&R
Investments of Firpark Street, Glasgow, within the Ayr area, and entry
is forecast for January or February 1994 -- by which time we anticipate
the balance of the block will have been let.''
Meanwhile, on behalf of Commercial Union, joint property agents
Richard Ellis and Douglas Inglis & Partners have let office space at 2
Water Lane, Kilmarnock.
The 750 sq.ft unit, part of an established retail and office
development, has been taken by Cairngorm Windows. The annual rent is
#4100. Standard FRI terms apply.
The sales office will be the company's first move into the central
belt.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
