Plans revealed for Middlesbrough office scheme

Chinese contractor and developer BCEGI has submitted a planning application for a flagship office scheme in Middlesbrough.

Known as Boho X, the seven-storey structure will offer 5,500m2 of Grade A office space, primarily for the digital and creative sector. It will also include a swimming pool and gym, café, lecture theatre and a rooftop bar/event space.

According to BCEGI, the building’s state-of-the-art spacious, modern working environments will act as a further catalyst for social, economic and environmental change across the Tees Valley and the wider region.

Lead Director of BCEGI Dongwen Yu said: “We are delighted to be working alongside Middlesbrough Council to deliver this iconic digital hub.

“Our vision is to deliver a thriving, successful and attractive heart to Middlesbrough, which will serve the needs of local people and businesses for decades to come. This is an ambitious and carefully crafted proposal that expresses the confidence in Middlesbrough.”

Middlesbrough Mayor Andy Preston said: “Middlesbrough can compete with Leeds and Newcastle, and this building will bring the jobs and investment to make that happen.

“It’s the best office building for many miles and it will ignite more investment – tens of millions of pounds – that will start the process of reenergising central Middlesbrough.”

Work is due to start in August, with a completion date in December 2022.
