Sorby House has transformed a small part of Spital Hill from being a dark and uninviting façade to a modern vibrant space. The refurbishment project started 2002 and took five years to complete, creating the asset we have now.
These statistics show the scale of project:
25,180 sq ft of accommodation
3 dedicated conference areas holding up to 150 people
33 individual offices with potential to increase to 50 subject to demand
Ability to create a single office suite of 2,500 sq ft
Potential to accommodate 300 people in the offices alone
25 full time occupiers
26 on site car spaces
61% occupied
Ground floor retail unit
Sorby House is a modern sustainable building which is highly energy efficient and provides our occupiers with quality accommodation but at very economic costs. With flexibility built into all our agreements occupiers can grow without being held back by long leases.
Jack Scott of Insync comments:
“Sorby House is a brilliant building. It suits our business interests exactly. The staff are always approachable, professional and flexible. I never have any concerns over bringing clients to the building. Moving to Sorby House was one of the best decisions we ever made”.
These sentiments are echoed by one of our recent arrivals Adam Thorndike of Cookie PR:
“My business, Cookie PR, requires a light and open space that allows for creative thought. The building’s modern design allows for this, complemented by its easy access to the city centre.
“Sorby House offers new businesses the chance to fully establish themselves, with affordable rates and fantastic amenities. With supportive staff and the latest electronic security, I feel secure in the knowledge that Cookie PR has a place to flourish.”
Jeremy Diskin of BNDfC added:
“Its not just about offices. We can host a fantastic array of functions and recently we have seen a new addition to the wedding circuit in the area and we can create a great atmosphere, this is evident in the increase in repeat bookings.”
Sorby House has also become a place for community activity. It houses the voice of Burngreave BCR (Burngreave Community Radio) who operate from a third floor studio. We are also home to Rainbow’s End, Burngreave’s own charity shop who occupy the former Ladbrokes unit on the ground floor.
There is significant interest in Sorby House offices despite the state of the economy. We hope to increase our occupancy rate over the next few months, but that does not mean that we are running out of space. We have works planned to create a further 15 offices.
Sorby House is staffed by a dedicated team of professionals who can help you. So please call in to our reception or call 213 2300.
