The terraced property, located in a prime town centre location opposite auctioneers Thomas Watson, has been transformed from traditional offices into highly sustainable, hybrid space with a range of working and collaborative areas, including break-out spaces and meeting rooms, combined with a high-end, contemporary interior.

The building, which will be ready in August, will be completely fossil fuel free, with heating delivered through eco-friendly air source heat pumps, and the offices have a sought-after EPC rating of B.

Offices floorplates are 6,000 sq. ft. with options for smaller spaces from 500 sq. ft.

“The pandemic has vastly changed how people work and workplaces need to adapt - providing spaces that support collaboration and socialisation, as well as desk space. We are creating a coming-to-work experience like none other available in Darlington right now,” said Property Manager at Landteam, Edward Speir.

A revamped reception provides an impressive arrival, with lots of light and space and the interior has exposed services and brickwork.

There are 69 car parking spaces, electric car charging points, air conditioning and bike storage facilities.

Patrick Matheson, Partner at Knight Frank, adds: “This is a fantastic opportunity for businesses to secure market leading space in a vibrant, central location in Darlington town centre, only ten minutes’ walk from the train station.

“The refurbishment has responded to changing occupier needs, specifically on sustainability, which is a high priority for businesses.”
