About 450 Argyle

A thoughtful refurbishment of an existing building, with large, efficient floors and low running costs.

450 Argyle is a three-storey office building on the corner of Douglas Street and Argyle Street, a six-minute walk from Central Station. A secure private car park sits to the rear; 17 of its 27 spaces are available with the first and second floors, a ratio of around one space per 1,600 sq ft.

The building has large, flexible and efficient column-free floorplates, 13,707 sq ft on the first floor and 13,794 sq ft on the second, and offers a low embodied carbon relocation. It is EPC A, with a recently installed all-electric VRV system and 100% renewable energy provision.

Operational costs are low across the board, with an attractive rent and low service charge.
