Privately-owned housebuilder Story Homes recently celebrated seven-years of building high quality homes across the North East. With continued success and future growth plans, the housebuilder is quickly outgrowing its current regional headquarters and has invested in a new office; Scotswood House.
Allan Thompson, Managing Director for Story Homes in the North East said: “We have a number of new sites in the pipeline for the North East with ambitious growth plans firmly in place. “To support this growth we are investing in future talent and creating more jobs in the region, which is why the move to Scotswood House is important. Although many of our colleagues are working remotely at the moment, we need to ensure that as things start to return to normal, we are fully equipped to support the new members of our teams as we continue to grow.” Scotswood House is located on Amethyst Road in Newcastle Business Park, close to the builder’s current Newcastle Headquarters, Panther House. The building, which is nearly twice the size of Panther House, is being marketed and managed by Bradley Hall Estate Agents, who have invested a significant amount of time into the development of the building throughout the marketing process. Richard Rafique, director at Bradley Hall Chartered Surveyors and Estate Agents said: “It is great to see a North East firm which is achieving impressive growth. The success of the firm will encourage a significant economic impact within our region, delivering more quality homes to the market as well as the opportunity to create corporate roles, construction jobs, indirect and induced jobs. “We were delighted to utilise the full-service Bradley Hall approach on the Scotswood House project, from sourcing the building to negotiating the purchase, providing a building survey as well as lettings and property management. We look forward to welcoming more local businesses, specifically exciting start-ups and SMEs to the upper floors of Scotswood House which is home to Riverview Business Centre.” Story Homes is working with Ultimate on the fit out of the office space and progress is well under way; the new office should be ready to occupy from May of this year. Steve Cowley, Associate Director at Ultimate said: “We are thrilled to be given the opportunity to carry out the fit out works for Story Homes and are delighted to play a small part in this success story of such a well known business.”
