Alex Jermieson

KNIGHT Property Group has secured Barra Energy as its latest tenant at 1 St Swithin Row, in Aberdeen’s west end.

The company has agreed a five-year lease on Suite D, a first floor office suite that extends to 907 sq ft. The ten-desk  open plan office has a meeting room and offers two car parking spaces with an EV charging point also provided. The company has relocated from serviced offices in the city.

Barra Energy was founded in 2015 and provides engineering solutions, operational management support and personnel to international and UK-based operators within the oil and gas sector. The Aberdeen company is also transitioning its business to geothermal and renewables, and recently completed its first geothermal conceptual design for drilling specialist Helmerich & Payne.

Alex Jermieson, director of Barra Energy, said, “We were drawn to this office location for its collaboration space and strategic advantages. Our business is thriving, and this new base provides the flexibility to expand our team as needed in the years ahead.”

Daniel Mitchell, management surveyor at Knight Property Group, added, “Securing Barra Energy is a positive deal highlighting the demand  for office space within Aberdeen’s west end. Three out of  four office suites at St Swithin Row are now occupied and there is strong interest in the final suite.”

St Swithin Row has been refurbished by Knight and offers open plan office suites within a two-storey building. Other occupiers are Braemar Shipbroking Limited and Ardyne.

Thomas Codona, graduate surveyor at Ryden, commented, “St Swithin Row offers an ideal location with excellent connectivity, providing high-quality refurbished space for tenants seeking affordability in the West End. One ground floor suite remains available.”

Ryden and FG Burnett are joint agents for Knight Property Group at St Swithin Row. Barra Energy was advised by CBRE.
