Domestic and General signs 50,000 sq ft office deal in Nottingham

Franklin Ellis has worked on Bildurn's 11 Station Street scheme

Bildurn has signed a 15-year pre-let with appliance care firm Domestic and General (D&G) to move 1,000 of its staff to its planned 50,000 sq ft office scheme at 11 Station Street in Nottingham city centre.

D&G has signed a 15-year lease on the new office scheme, which has been in the planning for almost three years. Demolition started on the site earlier this year in preparation for D&G to move its call centre hub on Talbot Street into Station Street.

D&G’s Talbot Street premises have now been sold on redevelopment into student accommodation.

Nick Ulycz, chief operating officer at D&G, said: “We want to create a world class operations hub in Nottingham, a city we know very well, and I’m delighted these plans will also unlock some significant new direct investment. We moved quickly last year to transition all our employees into a position where they can successfully work from home, and they have done a brilliant job serving our clients during the crisis. Their feedback from this experience has allowed us to push ahead with a refresh of our property mix, which will form a key component of our new hybrid working model, and it will allow for people to have a truly flexible work environment.”

Lorraine Baggs, Head of Investment at Invest in Nottingham, added: “This is a hugely positive announcement for Nottingham at a critical time for the UK economy. D&G is one of this city’s longest standing and largest employers.

“It regularly recruits from our universities and the local area, bringing quality jobs, career opportunities and local growth.

“We are delighted the company has chosen to establish a flagship piece of its operational infrastructure in the city centre, and Station Street is a prime location. These plans also promise to ease some of the current pressure on housing in central Nottingham through the redevelopment of 77 Talbot Street into quality student accommodation.”

D&G says it will move into 11 Station Street from August 2022.
