We have opened a new delivery studio in Newcastle as demand for workplace transformation projects increases across the North East. The move reflects both the strength of the regional market and the growing need for organisations to rethink how their workplaces perform.

Over the past year, we have seen a clear shift in Newcastle’s office landscape. Businesses are seeking high-quality environments that help them attract talent, strengthen culture and make better use of their space. However, the availability of new Grade A offices remains limited, creating an imbalance between supply and demand.

As Hannah Cusack, Account Director, explains, “There’s very little availability of new, high quality office stock in Newcastle, yet demand remains high. Many organisations are choosing to stay in their existing buildings and upgrade them to meet changing needs.”

A changing office market in Newcastle

Newcastle’s office market is experiencing strong demand but constrained supply. Grade A availability currently represents a small proportion of the city’s total stock, and with rents rising over the past decade, organisations are reassessing how their workplaces support long-term performance.

This environment is reshaping how workplace projects begin. Rather than focusing purely on relocation, businesses are increasingly exploring how existing offices can be adapted to support evolving working patterns, hybrid collaboration and organisational growth.

In many cases, this means rightsizing space, improving utilisation and creating environments that better support productivity, purpose and day-to-day use.

Supporting organisations across the North East

We have already been delivering projects across Newcastle and the wider North East, including Nexus at The Spark, LNER, Van Oord and Irwin Mitchell.

These projects reflect a broader shift in how organisations approach their workplaces. The focus is not simply on upgrading interiors, but on aligning space with how people work, how teams connect and how businesses operate.

Our approach begins with understanding these requirements in detail. From there, we help organisations shape workplace strategies that bring together space, data and behaviour to support long-term performance.

Planning earlier in a competitive market

With limited availability of high-quality space, organisations are increasingly required to plan their real estate decisions earlier.

This often means engaging in workplace strategy before lease events or relocation decisions are finalised. Early engagement enables more effective scenario planning, clearer decision-making and a more sustainable approach to design and delivery.

It also ensures that workplace investment is aligned with long-term business needs, rather than short-term constraints.

A long-term commitment to the region

Establishing a permanent presence in Newcastle allows us to work more closely with organisations across the North East and respond more directly to regional demand.

Workplace decisions often signal more than a change in environment. They reflect a commitment to people, culture and future growth.

By expanding into Newcastle, we are strengthening our ability to support organisations as they shape workplaces that enable their teams to perform, connect and grow.
