Six-figure investment brings two new tenants to No. 2 Collingwood Street

Posted by Knight Frank Newcastle on 18th November 2019 -

A six-figure refurbishment has attracted two new office tenants to a Grade II-listed building on Newcastle's Collingwood Street – meaning the property is now almost full, with just one suite available to let.

Knight Frank Newcastle has secured new lets to Crawford & Company and Ryder Geotechnical on behalf of the landlord, RPU Group PLC. Just one 2,379 sq. ft. office, which, has its own kitchen and a break-out space of 600 sq. ft., remains on the market through Knight Frank and joint agents Naylor’s Gavin Black. 

Claims managers to the risk and insurance industries, Crawford, have taken 1,918 sq. ft. on the third floor and offshore geotechnical consultants, Ryder Geotechnical have moved into a 1,140 sq. ft. office on the second floor. These business join Leathers LLP and Kani Payments who both moved in earlier this year.

The prominent five-storey office building which overlooks St Nicholas Cathedral in Newcastle city centre has undergone a complete overhaul to attract new occupiers. The offices are high-specification and have shower facilities and cycle storage.

Partner at Knight Frank, Patrick Matheson, said: “The building has a really strong tenant line up of local, national and international businesses – all attracted by the quality of the refurbishment and also its location – being only two mins from Central Station.”

Fraser Gibson Managing Director, Ryder Geotechnical said: “Two Collingwood Street is a great location for us, in the business hub of Newcastle and just a short walk to Central Station which offers excellent transport links for both clients and staff. 

“The office space is exactly what we were looking for, well presented, with enough space to allow us to achieve our growth targets over the coming years.”
