A ‘white box’ refurbishment in The city!

Refurbished commercial interior featuring a spacious, modern fit-out with light grey tiled flooring and crisp white walls. Evenly spaced white columns support the open-plan layout, while industrial-style pendant lighting and exposed ceiling piping contribute to a contemporary aesthetic. A small staircase with a metal railing leads to an elevated platform, offering flexible zoning options. Glass doors at the rear provide access to adjacent areas or exterior space, enhancing natural light and connectivity. The clean, minimal design supports a wide range of future fit-out configurations.

This CAT A fit-out transformed a previously unusable commercial space into a modern, flexible workplace ready for future occupation. Following a prolonged period of water ingress, the property required extensive investigation, remediation and refurbishment before the team could deliver a high-quality CAT A environment capable of attracting a wide range of occupiers.

Water Ingress Remediation and Building Protection

The project began with a detailed programme of investigations to identify the source of ongoing water ingress that had rendered the space unusable. Following extensive testing, Virtus successfully identified and resolved the root cause of the issue.

In addition, the team installed a comprehensive tanking system to provide a robust secondary layer of protection against future water penetration. This proactive approach safeguarded the building and created the conditions required for the next phase of the refurbishment.

Delivering a Flexible CAT A Fit-Out

Once the space had fully dried, Virtus replaced the low-level building services and prepared the area for occupation. The team then installed a new raised access floor system, providing flexibility for future tenant layouts and service distribution.

Furthermore, the project included extensive making-good works and the refurbishment of all internal finishes. As a result, the completed CAT A fit-out delivered a clean, modern “white box” environment that allows incoming occupiers to adapt the space to their specific operational requirements.

Creating a Market-Ready Workspace

A key objective of the project was to maximise the appeal of the property to prospective tenants. Therefore, the design focused on creating a versatile and adaptable workplace that could accommodate a variety of occupier needs.

By combining specialist remediation works with a high-quality CAT A fit-out, Virtus successfully transformed a challenging space into a modern commercial environment ready for immediate occupation. The completed refurbishment not only resolved the building’s underlying issues but also enhanced its long-term value and marketability.
