The space is being marketed at a quoting rent of £10 per sq ft (£107 per sq m). 109,778 sq ft (10,197 sq m) at the RNIB’s former premises at Orton Southgate is also being sold by Savills.

We are very pleased to have helped facilitate the move and to retain such a high profile occupier in the city.”
