The Core building is 10 Years old.
Newcastle is certainly a city that is constantly evolving. None more so than the former home of Newcastle Brown Ale itself.
In 2005 Scottish & Newcastle Breweries closed the site and the land was purchased in partnership with the City Council and the University – with a grand vision to create something transformational for the city and region.
This 24 acre site is now home to Newcastle Helix, a joint venture between Newcastle City Council, Newcastle University and Legal & General, and is designed to house businesses which are primarily tech and science focussed, as well as offering residential areas and being a hub for the local community.
At the centre of the Helix you’ll find a seriously imposing office block appropriately called The Core. It stands proud at the front of the entire Helix estate where you’ll find a multitude of businesses working towards challenges of the future
The Core has just turned 10 years old, it certainly doesn’t feel 10 years when you look at the scale of the buildings that have been erected since its opening. Being the first site to open its doors on 3rd November 2014, it is great to see how far the Helix has come over the last decade.
“Here at the Core we offer office space between 200 – 2,000 square feet over seven floors,” said Tony Gray who, as part of Knight Frank is Centre Manager of the Core. “We have an ideal range of office spaces, smaller offices are ideal for start-ups whereas our larger space is suited for established SMEs. No matter which size of space a business goes for, we can offer flexibility. Every office is fully serviced and is customisable to each business including Mail Service/Cleaning/IT/ Telephony/Catering and Meeting rooms.”
Also on offer at the Core is an impressive event space which can hold up to 150 people and is fully customisable, from theatre style to workshops. In other words, the Core has a layout for just about all events.
“We do currently have space available at the Core. Our only stipulation is that any new business fits in with the overall ethos of working towards challenges of the future or digitally enabled sustainability and must be an SME.
“Being a part of the Helix creates a sense of community, lots of opportunity to collaborate with like minded companies and events which in turn can help grow your business”
And because it’s at the heart of one of the most vibrant commercial areas in the region with a huge variety of businesses, it is the ideal base for any SME business to be based.”
John Seager – Newcastle Helix Estates Director added, “Newcastle Helix is about our future. The development is designed to be a living lab – a place where we find out, collaboratively, how we can all live better lives. The Core building is the pioneer at Helix – the first building to be completed and home to many organisations leading the way in innovation that will have transformational, long term impacts across the region”
The Core can help you run your business. They’ll look after the little things that can be so time consuming while you take care of the important stuff.
