Construction has started on Scarborough Group Internationals (SGI) new 62,862 sq ft state-of-the-art speculative office building in Sheffield city centre.
‘Endeavour’ forms the fourth and final phase at the Sheffield Digital Campus (Sheffield DC) and offers floorplates of up to 10,323 sq ft and a private 3,584 sq ft roof terrace on the sixth floor.
Adam Varley, Head of Commercial at SGI, said: “We are pleased to announce the start of speculative construction on site to deliver the final phase at Sheffield DC which brings nearly a quarter of million sq ft of prime business space to the city centre. GMI Construction is a trusted long-term partner on the project and, together with our design consultants CJCT Architects, they have helped us to evolve the building in line with the future of workspaces.
“We are delighted to report that there is already strong interest from potential occupiers looking for a well-located, premium workspace with flexible, open plan floor plates in the city centre. The building’s impressive design really creates a sense of arrival, with a double height entrance reception and new social space allowing visitors and colleagues to interact.”
The development, which has a GDV of £27m, will create up to 140 construction jobs and, once complete, will accommodate up to 800 office workers.
Councillor Paul Turpin, Executive Member for Inclusive Economy, Jobs and Skills at Sheffield City Council, said: “Sheffield Digital Campus will play an important role in boosting the local economy and offering an attractive setting for colleagues to come together; whether you’re working in the office multiple days a week or just visiting for an important meeting. It’s essential that we have a variety of flexible spaces on offer in the city centre that best meet the needs of those using them - for some people that will be open plan hospitality venues such as Kommune, Cutlery Works, or a coffee at Marmadukes, and for others it will be purpose-built, dedicated office space such as Endeavour.”
It is scheduled to be completed by the end of summer 2022.
