Work begins on six-figure office park project in Newcastle

Work has begun on a six-figure project to revamp office space at a North East office park.

Quorum Park, in Newcastle, will see vacant offices in its Q11 building be transformed into a collaborative workspace to help meet the “evolving needs” of office occupiers.

The project, which will take place over 10 weeks, is being managed NEBS Projects and has been designed by FaulknerBrowns.

As well as office space, the building will include “pod” areas and a communal space, plus two new boardrooms.

Jonathan Ryder, director at NEBS, commented: “Over the past few years we’ve seen changes to the way people wish to use their office space, and the Covid-19 pandemic will see further changes to the working environment and our desire for flexibility.

“The office buildings at Quorum are well-placed to accommodate this ongoing evolution, with large, open plan floorplates that can be customised and adapted to the working ethos and lifestyles of those using it.”

Mark Rabinowitz, director of Shelborn Asset Management, added: “We’re incredibly proud of the changes we’ve made at Quorum Park, which saw 100,000 sq.ft. of lettings completed last year as new tenants embraced the park’s facilities and support services.

“We’re committed to making ongoing investments to improve the working lives of all members of the Quorum Park community, and to provide the flexibility and appeal that modern organisations are looking for when choosing where to base themselves.”
