Banking giant Barclays is moving into Newcastle’s flagship office complex Bank House, which has now officially opened.
Property agents have confirmed Barclays is relocating its regional base from its Quayside base later this year, taking 5,000 sqft on Level 7 in the new 100,000 sqft Grade A tower on Pilgrim Street. The banking and financial services provider will join law firm DAC Beachcroft, which has now taken move into its offices, set across one and a half floors and 15,000 sqft, and insurer Lycetts, which is currently completing an office fitout ahead of moving in its 105-strong Newcastle workforce later this month.
The move marks a return into the city centre for Barclays, which moved out nine years ago into St Ann’s Court on the Quayside. It brought all staff from two offices – in Grey Street and Cross House – under one roof in the four storey, 35,000sqft office.
