Plans for a restaurant or cafe at Newcastle’s newest office tower have been stepped up with property specialists advertising the site.
The 14-storey Bank House office is now nearing completion on Pilgrim Street as the first phase of a £100m-plus regeneration project currently transforming the city centre. The 207-foot high building, designed by Ryder Architecture and built by Bowmer + Kirkland on behalf of the Reuben Brothers’ development vehicle Taras Properties, will have room for more than 1,000 workers when it officially opens for business.
Tenants so far include law firm DAC Beachcroft, which is taking 15,000sqft of space across one and a half floor, and insurer Lycetts which is moving its 105-strong Newcastle workforce into 10,000sqft on the sixth floor. And the hunt for a leisure tenant, to open a 1,195sqft restaurant or cafe on the ground floor of the building, is now under way.
