NOTTINGHAM Regeneration Limited (NRL) has let office space in the vibrant redevelopment of the old Players factory to Nottingham City Primary Care Trust.

Nottingham City PCT this month signed a five year lease on units 43 and 44 on the ground floor of New Brook House. Their agreed rent is £19,800pa excluding service and utility charges.

The building, owned by NRL with on-site management provided by Nottinghamshire Business Venture, provides  a shared space facility designed for small enterprises or start-up businesses, along with larger sized offices on the ground floor suitable for larger organisations. Along with important 19th century history it comes with a host of 21st century support, including a recently refurbished and manned reception, assistance with administrative services, and meeting and training rooms.

The popularity of New Brook House since it was upgraded last autumn means there are now only five units left available. These range from 210 to 330 sq ft, with monthly inclusive licence fees of £305 - £455.

The building at Alfreton Road was once part of the famous cigarette manufacturing plant immortalised in Alan Sillitoe’s Saturday Night, Sunday Morning and more recently was used as a lace factory. It has been extensively refurbished while maintaining many of the original features. The overhauled reception area now has new flooring throughout, a new seating area and the welcoming decor includes plants and greenery.

There are 44 units at New Brook House altogether, not including the large meeting and training rooms which are available for tenants’ use. The building is wired for phone and broadband. Current tenants include Greater Nottingham LIFT Company, medical based companies, education projects, IT and training companies and The Deaf Service, which praised the disability access as a factor in their choice of relocation from Goldsmith Street.

Mona Walsh at NRL said: “We’re delighted to welcome Nottingham City PCT to New Brook House. We knew this project would be extremely popular with businesses and we only have a few units left now, but whoever takes up the remaining leases can see they will be in good company.”
