Sunderland city centre offices to be given new lease of life as Esports apartments

Three Grade II listed buildings in Sunderland will be given a new lease of life after plans to turn them into Esports apartments were approved.

The buildings, which were once used as offices but have since stood empty in West Sunniside in the city centre, will be transformed into homes. The properties will be a part of British Esports' investment in the city which will also see a state-of-the-art National Esports Performance Campus (NEPC), which is a multi-site venue, created at Riverside Sunderland.

The plans were approved by Sunderland City Council at the beginning of April and will see the conversion of the existing three separate buildings into three separate residential houses.
