CB Richard Ellis lets space at Orbital House, East Kilbride

On behalf of Kilmartin Property Group, leading property consultant CB Richard Ellis (Scotland), has announced that it has let 4,300 ft2 of the first floor of Orbital House in East Kilbride to leading pump manufacturer, Sulzer Pumps (UK) Ltd.

Sulzer will take the space on a 10 year lease and has now completed its office fit-out with a view to being fully operational from week commencing 20 August 2007.

Kilmartin Property Group purchased the building in June 2007. Orbital House sits within Peel Park in East Kilbride, offering high quality refurbished office space set within an attractive mature landscaped environment, in one of the town's key business locations.

Roddy Proudfoot, associate director at CB Richard Ellis, which acted jointly with Ryden for Kilmartin Property Group, commented: "This letting is a superb result for Kilmartin Property Group, particularly in light of the fact that Orbital House is a recent purchase for them. This letting is testament to the quality of the building and its continued attraction to a variety of occupiers, as well as further evidence of the current buoyancy of the Lanarkshire office market."

Scott McNicol, senior surveyor at Lambert Smith Hampton, which acted on behalf of Sulzer Pumps (UK) Ltd, commented: "East Kilbride was identified as a preferred location for Sulzer. Orbital House offered an opportunity to acquire high quality office accommodation, which was very important to our clients."

Bob Foulkes of Sulzer Pumps added: "The completion of this let represents a major milestone in the successful launch of Sulzer's engineering and sales office in Scotland. We believe that the office is of prime quality in a prime location and will be an important element in helping Sulzer Pumps meet its ambitious growth plans for the future".

22,231 ft2 remains immediately available to let at the building.
