Gainsborough House is a commercial refurbishment by Adderstone Construction, located on Grey Street in Newcastle’s central business and leisure district. The Grade II listed building comprises 16,000 sq ft of office space alongside a 9,700 sq ft ground floor unit occupied by Pizza Punks.
The scheme involved a full internal strip-out and reconfiguration of the existing office accommodation, delivering a modern Grade A workspace within a listed building setting. New mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems were installed throughout, alongside energy efficiency upgrades to improve EPC performance, including enhanced insulation, glazing and overall building fabric improvements.
A modern office fit-out was delivered, including raised access floors and suspended ceilings to support flexible layouts, alongside upgraded reception and shared areas to improve arrival experience and communal space quality. All works were delivered in line with current building regulations, balancing modern performance requirements with the restrictions and complexity of a listed building.
Since completion, the office accommodation is fully let, with ongoing asset management plans in place to further optimise and repurpose unused areas to create additional space and increase rental value of the building.
Gainsborough House is located in the heart of Newcastle, within the city’s central business and leisure district.
Grainger Town, Eldon Square Shopping Centre, Northumberland Street and Fenwick are less than a 3-minute walk away and there are a plethora of bars, restaurants and cafés on the doorstep.
