BT Group has signed a 15-year lease for a 65,000 sq ft office at Sheffield Digital Campus.
Endeavour designed by CJCT architects and owned by Scarborough Group International, features a double-height reception, seven flexible floorplates of up to 10,323 sq ft each, 4,844 sq ft of ground-floor amenity space, changing and shower facilities, and a rooftop terrace.
It is the largest letting in Sheffield city centre since 2016, when HSBC took 140,000 sq ft at Heart of the City II.
Construction of the eight-storey building started in June 2021, with completion scheduled for early 2023. BT Group is expected to house around 1,000 employees at the site.
The building is set to achieve BREEAM Excellent certification and marks the final phase of the Sheffield Digital Campus development. The 243,000 sq ft project, which took 15 years to create, is also home to Sky, IBM, Kennedys and Atkins.
Brent Matthews, property director at BT, said: “Despite the economic challenges and changes to working patterns caused by the pandemic, we think this is an important investment and it secures our presence in Sheffield and Yorkshire.”
Adam Varley, development director at SGI, added: “It is a long-term commitment to the city and a major vote of confidence for the regional economy, sending a strong message to any other businesses looking to locate in Sheffield that the city has strong credentials as a place to invest, recruit and grow.”
BT was represented by JLL, while Colloco, CPP and Knight Frank acted on behalf of SGI.
