A multimillion-pound project to create a new regional head office for the HMRC has reached a milestone with a steel beam signing ceremony.
HMRC announced in November 2021 that Newcastle’s Pilgrim’s Quarter – part of the wider Pilgrim Street regeneration development – would become a Government Hub for HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in the North East. The regional centre will provide office accommodation for around 9,000 HMRC staff and will be the largest of HMRC’s 14 regional centres.
Now, a year after the ground-breaking ceremony to mark the start of construction, the steel structure of the huge building, which will have 463,000 sqft of office space, is rapidly nearing completion, triggering a special steel beam signing ceremony with all the companies involved, as well as the future tenants.
