Following its acquisition of the former Café Royal Building in Newcastle, MCM Group has unveiled plans for further investment in excess of £1m to transform the building into a hybrid-office complex.The new office based on 8 Nelson Street will combine working from home with a social hub and wellness facilities.The development will be set across six floors and will have a number of facilities such as informal working spaces, a fitness studio and showers, lounges with refreshment areas, a private roof terrace and internal cycle storage.An extensive renovation of the Grade II listed building is currently underway, with Knight Frank and Sanderson Weatherall having been appointed as joint letting agents.An emphasis on sustainability has been incorporated into the design using reclaimed and vintage furniture with natural materials such as wood and cork being used to enhance this aspect.
