Altium signs for Cambridge Science Park

Australian software firm Altium has agreed a 10-year lease at 270 Cambridge Science Park.

The firm will occupy 7,399 sq ft in the Parallax Building. 

The 38,538 sq ft office was acquired by South Cambridgeshire District Council in 2020 and refurbished in 2021. It now features six separate open-plan grade-A office suites over three floors, starting at 3,654 sq ft, with the potential to combine as required. Each suite has been designed to Category A specification, with raised floors, fully upgraded heating and ventilation, and LED lighting. 

John Williams, lead cabinet member for resources at South Cambridgeshire District Council, said: “Investment in the building’s green credentials such as solar PV panels, EV charging points and leading-edge HVRF system has meant that the council has been able to improve the sustainability and environmental impact and has also made it a more pleasant and greener place to work and do business.”

Carter Jonas advised the council on the purchase and repurposing of the building. 

Lucy Atkins, associate, Cambridge commercial agency and investment at Carter Jonas, said: “We are discussing options with potential occupiers for the remaining 24,000 sq ft of space at Parallax and look forward to welcoming additional business to the site in due course.”
