NEW LOOK IONA HOUSE SEEKS NEW TENANTS
Major internal refurbishment works are underway at Iona House in Kirkcaldy, thanks to £300,000 investment from Fife Council’s Property, Investment and Development team.
The 28,000 square feet building, situated in the well established John Smith Business Park (JSBP) will undergo redecoration, electrical repairs, have new windows installed, and an upgrade of its toilet facilities to prepare it to welcome new tenants from late November.
A thriving business location, JSBP is already home to a diverse mix of businesses including Marston’s, Commscope Technologies, Vericall, Flexispace, and most recently Copart, who moved into Iona House last month.
Fife Council has appointed agents DM Hall and Knight Frank to jointly promote its vacant business space at Iona House, which ranges in size from 4000 square feet.
Commenting on Iona House’s fresh appeal for businesses considering new premises, Paul Carr of DM Hall said: “This is a modern, well-run building with superb facilities, perfectly situated in JSBP, the premier office location in and around Kirkcaldy.
“It is extremely pleasing to have attracted a multinational business of Copart’s standing to Iona House. The letting is proof that Fife’s reputation as an office location continues to improve in the eyes of occupiers who may previously have limited their searches to Edinburgh and the Lothians.”
Paul Carr finished by saying that he and joint agent, Simon Capaldi of Knight Frank, had already had an interest in some of the remaining accommodation within the building.
He said : “Iona House rates are very competitive, with a ground floor show suite available for viewing now by interested parties. As the refurbishment nears completion, we are keen to attract existing Fife businesses who may need more space, along with those who may wish to relocate to Fife, which strives to be the best place in which to do business. Please don’t hesitate to contact myself at DM Hall or Simon at Knight Frank with any enquiries.”
Commenting on Iona House, Pamela Stevenson, Service Manager for Fife Council Economic Development, said: “Iona House is a flagship property for Fife Council, comparing favourably with any other building in the area in terms of quality, management and specification. We look forward to welcoming more new tenants in the coming months.”
