Insurance group Youi lease at Murarrie's Gateway Office Park

Insurance giant Youi have taken a lease at Gateway Office Park at Murarrie, one of Brisbane's most sought-after office parks. 

Youi have taken 880 square market of office place on the second level of the building.

The new office space will serve to house specialist skills such as software development and marketing.

Savills agents Shaw Harrison, Jason O'Meara and Wes Woodroffe negotiated the lease.

Harrison said they were looking for accommodation for Youi in the more traditional areas like Milton, Newstead and Woolloongabba, however they found the location at Murarrie a suitable fit.

“They found that the location was ideal for their team and assessors to gain access onto the road networks,” Harrison said. 

Previously occupied a smaller building in Hendra, the new lease at Murarrie will provide Youi with additional space to accommodate their future expansion plans. 

Harrison said the interest in the Gateway Office Park accommodation to date has been overwhelming. 

“We are seeing a trend infringe occupiers seeking to occupy in more traditional industrial locations,” he said.

“Tenants that are normally occupying an office or warehouse facility are seeking out more corporate accommodation in stand-alone office premises that provide them with a more solid corporate identity.”

Savills also negotiated the leasing of professional services firm Acclario IT on a lease in the same building.

Acclario leased 435 square metres on the ground floor with an existing fitout in place.

Acclario managing director Peter Birbeck described the moving process as streamlined.

“The whole transition including the negotiations, and planning for the move from the existing building was painless and streamlined,” Birbeck said. 

“Savills were very professional and courteous, which made the whole process less painful than it could have been.”
