A well designed and constructed space is key to the creation of a pleasant and efficient working environment. Russell WBHO works with developers and owner-occupiers to develop functional, desirable speculative and pre-let schemes.

The eight-storey building was painstakingly stripped back, revealing scores of heritage features which were carefully restored or replaced like-for-like. A new roof was installed, complete with an additional mezzanine floor, creating an incredibly bright and versatile space at the top of the building, with views over the whole city. New internal structures have opened up a huge internal atrium, with contemporary lift, stairs and bridges linking the different work spaces.

Superb internal fit out to Grade A standard with a series of unique heritage features and high specification finishes over 182,405 sq ft.

The building is set to become home to Amazon and WeWork.
