Cubo celebrates anniversary, nears full occupancy
Located on the top two floors of Bank House on Pilgrim Street, the 20,000 sq ft flexible working space has two offices left to let one year after opening.
Businesses that operate from Cubo Newcastle include Adept Building Consultancy, Flow Mobile Surveying, and SoPost.
The flexible office provider has 13 locations across the UK, including at Wellington Place in Leeds, Manchester Spinningfields, and Princes Street in Edinburgh. Cubo’s Newcastle offering is the company’s first foray into the North East.
Bank House is part of the 750,000 sq ft Pilgrim’s Quarter development that will comprise grade A offices, a five-star hotel, a public square, and F&B outlets.
The building is located on Pilgrim Street, also home to the recently topped-out HMRC super-campus.
Commenting on the first anniversary of Cubo Newcastle, Marc Brough, chief executive at Cubo, said: “We’re thrilled with the positive response to our Newcastle workspace and the strong sense of community our members have created here in such a short time.
“Our mission at Cubo has always been to redefine the workplace experience, and seeing this workspace achieve near 100% occupancy in just one year shows us that the need for flexible, lifestyle-led work environments where businesses can thrive together is greater than ever.”
Cubo workspaces include 24/7 access, communal spaces and break-out spaces, meeting rooms, kitchens, a barista service with free beer and wine. The Newcastle space has shower facilities, bike storage, and electric bike charging points.
