One City Park in Bradford, delivered in partnership between Muse and Bradford City Council, has reached completion, and contracts have been exchanged with an anchor tenant.
The city centre workplace offers 56,403 sq ft of sustainable and flexible workspace in the heart of the city. One City Park features five floors of workspace and a roof terrace. It is designed to suit a range of businesses from home grown starts-up and SMEs, through to larger organisations and multi-national occupiers.
Simon Dew, development director at Muse, said: “One City Park will be a catalyst for further investment in the city and signifies a newfound confidence in its commercial centre that will attract future big-name businesses.
“The project also demonstrates a very successful public/private partnership that will reap long-term benefits by providing incredible job opportunities for the younger, growing, population in the city.”
Cllr Alex Ross-Shaw, Bradford Council’s Executive Member of Regeneration, Planning and Transport, said: “We already have a talented and ambitious workforce and we’re now providing the highest spec office space for businesses who are serious about making their mark in the North.
“This is an exciting time for Bradford and the completion of One City Park is just the beginning of the commercial transformation that is taking place here.”
The building, which has now been formally handed over to Bradford Council as the owners, is framed by new public spaces including stepped access and attractive seating areas.
Other key project partners involved included: Arup, G&H Building Services, Howard Civil Engineering and re-form Landscape Architecture, with additional funding from the West Yorkshire Combined Authority.
