Opus signs 7,500 sq ft Warrington relocation

The civil and electrical engineering services outfit has moved from Culcheth to Trinity within Birchwood Park.

Opus Group has signed a five-year lease on the final 7,500 sq ft within the building, which is owned by Tandem Investments.

Tandem acquired the Crab Lane building and its two neighbours in 2022. In 2023, the firm sold building one to Skillray and building three to a private investor last year.

Those deals and the letting to Opus follow efforts to refurb and upgrade the assets. Opus joins AMB Recruitment in building two.

Chloe Ellerby, project director at Tandem Investments, said: “We are pleased to welcome Opus Group to Trinity.

“Providing a fully furnished suite has supported a smooth transition for the business and reflects our commitment to offering high-quality space that is immediately ready for occupation.”

OBI and Cushman & Wakefield acted on behalf of Tandem Investments.

Simon Roddam, head of OBI’s regional office in Warrington, said the Opus deal was illustrative of shifting market sentiment.

“The office market has evolved. Occupiers now prioritize ready-to-go, fully fitted spaces that minimize upfront costs and enable faster relocation,” he said.

“We worked closely with Opus and it’s great to see them find a turnkey solution in a timescale that allows them to seamlessly continue their business growth plans.”
