The new 4,500 sq ft office will see its existing commercial and residential offer in Guernsey, currently located at Smith Street and No 1 Le Truchot respectively, come together with all 29 staff operating from one office  for the first time.

Fit-out plans to transform the former Urban Kitchen restaurant into Savills Guernsey HQ are currently being finalised and will be put out to tender for contractors.

Tony Rowbotham, head of commercial Savills Guernsey, comments: “We are thoroughly delighted to be bringing our Guernsey business together into one office, which will be of huge benefit to both our staff and our clients. Savills has established itself as a leading agent on the Channel Islands and this new office, that will comprise a modern working environment and cutting edge design, will further cement our position in Guernsey.”

Richard Fox, head of residential for Savills Guernsey, says: “We’re looking forward to embracing the opportunity offered by occupying one of the most visible and prestigious offices on the seafront. Combining our residential and commercial businesses under one roof will enable us to provide an enhanced service offering to clients, strengthening our activity in the Bailiwick and across the Channel Islands.”
