Stephen George + Partners completes landmark Leicester office building

Big news in Leicester as our client Stephen George + Partners (SGP) celebrates the completion of No1 Great Central Square, a £7.3 million, 33,000 sq ft Grade A office building on the old Stibbe factory site, a key regeneration scheme in the city. Some great coverage in the Leicester Mercury, Insider Media, East Midlands Business Link and others.

The site will also feature two new hotels, the refurbishment of the Great Central Railway Station and a new public plaza, all of which are overseen by SGP.

Part of a £45 million masterplan designed by SGP for Charles Street Buildings Group, No1 Great Central Square is the latest component in the transformation of the 1.89 hectare site into the wider Great Central Square redevelopment, which is set within the Waterside Strategic Regeneration Area.

The five-storey office’s V-shaped form evolved with the design of SGP’s masterplan; the splayed footprint creates a new public realm which focuses onto the former railway station.

Explains Ian Yallop, Chairman at SGP: “We are incredibly proud of how No1 Great Central Square sits within the regeneration site, becoming a key focal point in an aspirational project that will bring new jobs to an already thriving city as well as linking the centre with the City Council’s ambitious Waterside development.”
