An iconic Grade II* listed building on the edge of Huddersfield town centre, which is being converted into high-quality offices, has secured its first two tenants.
Huddersfield-based architects Above and Beyond are taking two floors in the historic 19th century Folly Hall Mills, which overlooks the River Colne. They are relocating from the nearby Huddersfield Media Centre.
Meanwhile the Jay Tee Group, based in Dewsbury, who are developing the mill, are taking one floor at Folly Hall Mills, meaning that 60 per cent of the smaller mill is now let.
Above and Beyond are taking 4,700 sq ft of office space, while the Jay Tee Group are taking 2,700 sq ft. Rents are in the region of £15 per sq ft. Both companies will move into their new offices in November.
Andrew Stoddart, managing director of Above and Beyond, said: ‘We are delighted to be moving into our new offices in November and recognise that being located in a stunning converted building will create a powerful impression to clients about how we can make a difference to their business.
“The 4,700 sq ft space will act as a showcase office, allowing us to adopt 21st century ways of working including hot-desking, flat screen technology and a dedicated ‘creative space’, intended to promote free thinking.
“It’s an exciting way to launch into our second decade of business, demonstrating our talent for understanding and delivering innovative design solutions to embed and reinforce a strong workplace culture for both ourselves and our clients,” he explained.
