LSH and JLL are sole joint agents for the development, which is now 90 per cent occupied.

Barton Willmore fellow tenants James Cowper, Keoghs, Foot Anstey, Regis Bentley, Novum Law, Wessex Petroleum, Blue Arrow and Manpower at the White Building, which has become a celebrated development since it was extensively refurbished following its acquisition by Ashville Capital in 2014.

Robin Shepherd (pictured), lead partner for Barton Willmore’s Southampton office, said: “This is a very fitting move for us as we continue to build on our established and rapidly expanding practice in the South East. The contemporary design ethos and working environment at the White Building align perfectly with our own values – and we are very much looking forward to working from an award-winning building in the heart of the city centre.”
