HAMPSHIRE’S newest office has been officially unveiled following a £1m investment.

Two-storey Spinnaker House in Fareham was stripped to a shell before being totally revamped.

Several companies have already expressed an interest in leasing the headquarter building, which sits in 3.3 acres of grounds and can accommodate up to 200 people.

Hughes Ellard and Warwick Martel are joint marketing agents for the 21,809 sq ft property, which is owned by Horatio Properties and has 88 parking spaces.

The mayor of Fareham, Councillor Susan Bayford, opened Spinnaker House with the cutting of the red ribbon. Spinnaker House, built in the 1980s and fully occupied until two years ago under a sale-and-leaseback arrangement, was refurbished by business space fit-out specialist Vibe, based in Warsash. Project management was by Southampton-based Rekan, with electrical installation by Dicks in Winnall, Winchester, and heating and cooling systems by Gateway Building Services in Southampton.

The low-energy building was previously a complex of labs for a company involved in research and development.
