Multimillion-pound refurbishment of office space underway

A major refurbishment of The HQ, Rowland Hill House in Chesterfield is underway by property and asset management firm, FI Real Estate Management (FIREM).

The firm says the work has already resulted in a raft of new tenants.

A £1.2m remodelling of the ground and third floors has created new reception and meeting space and the ground floor has been split into a series of smaller suites in response to market demand. This is now fully occupied by a range of businesses including software consultancy Forefront Technology and advertising agency, Eehhaaa.

The next phase of works will see a £1m-plus refurbishment of the first and second floors that will see the space divided to provide smaller units, with FIREM saying it is already in discussions with a number of interested parties from Derbyshire and beyond.

A spokesperson for FI Real Estate Management said: “We continue to see strong demand for high quality office space in prime locations in Derbyshire and the surrounding area, particularly those with ample on-site parking like here at The HQ, Rowland Hill House.

“Local and regional businesses are keen to find first class office environments but understandably want the flexibility to create solutions that are tailored to them and suit their unique needs. We’re able to offer traditional leases as well as bespoke, turnkey packages and are already seeing good interest in floors one and two on this basis.”
