A NEW high-grade office at Elizabeth House, Belfast, has welcomed its first tenant following a major refurbishment of the Holywood Road premises.

The three-storey, 25,000 foot building, sold to a private local investor for £1.21 million earlier this year, is now headquarters to Towergate/Dawson Whyte Insurance.

In a move to amalgamate the company's Newtownards and Malone Road offices, the new high spec offices cover the entire second floor and equate to 8,400 square feet.

Towergate/Dawson Whyte, which also has offices in Dungannon and Larne, currently employs 80 people in Northern Ireland and is part of the Towergate Insurance Group which has more than 4,000 people on its payroll.

Since the letting, a further letting of 4,200 sq ft on the first floor had been agreed and negotiations are in progress regarding the letting of a remaining 8,400 sq ft of space, which comprises two large office suites.
