BT is to open a new flagship office in Sheffield, with space for up to 1000 staff.
The multi-million pound, 7-storey building will have a rooftop terrace featuring panoramic views of the city.
“Our new base in Sheffield will provide colleagues with a state-of-the-art new base equipped with the spaces and technology which will make an office fit for the future,” said Brent Matthews, BT Group Property Director.
“Despite the economic challenges and changes to working patterns caused by the pandemic, we think this is an important investment and it secures our presence in Sheffield and Yorkshire. This investment follows the refurbishment of our Doncaster Contact Centre.”
The office will be at the landmark Endeavour building, based at Sheffield Digital Campus. It follows refurbishments of other BT office spaces in Doncaster, Newcastle and Warrington.
“The way we work has evolved significantly in recent years and the leasing success we’ve achieved at Sheffield Digital Campus, despite the challenges impacting both the construction sector and the evolution around the use and future of ‘the office’, is testament to the quality of the workspace and the environments we continue to create as a Group,” said Adam Varley, Development Director at property regeneration and placemaking specialist, Scarborough Group International.
“BT Group’s letting is not only significant because it represents the largest single office letting in Sheffield for six years, it is also a long-term commitment to the city and a major vote of confidence for the regional economy, sending a strong message to any other businesses looking to locate in Sheffield that the city has strong credentials as a place to invest, recruit and grow.”
The 65,000sq ft space is currently under construction and is set to open by the end of 2023.
