One City Park wins two awards

We are thrilled that One City Park in Bradford, has been named winner of The Disrupter Award at The Yorkshires Commercial Real Estate Awards by Yorkshire Children’s Charity. The awards celebrate the very best of Yorkshire’s commercial and office developments.

The Disrupter Award recognises a groundbreaking partnership or deal that has had a material effect on the surrounding environment or market and is widely recognised in the property sector as praiseworthy and shows exceptional skill in conception, design, and execution.

This fantastic award comes soon after One City Park was named ‘Commercial Development of the Year for Yorkshire and Humberside’ at the CoStar Impact Awards.

The awards, which highlight the commercial real estate transactions and projects that have transformed their markets over the past year, heralded the building as ‘Bradford’s biggest game changer in 20 years’.

One City Park is a state-of-the-art building providing 56,403 sq ft (5,240 sq m) of Grade A office space, that has significantly raised Bradford’s profile as a key destination for businesses.  We delivered the workplace on time and on budget in partnership with City of Bradford Metropolitan Borough Council. International professional services firm, PwC were announced as the anchor tenant for the scheme, taking almost 50% of the available space.

The judges, made up of an independent panel of industry professionals, all praised the difference this would make to the city.

Stuart Howie, principal, managing director, Leeds, Avison Young called it:

The PwC letting at One City Park has been shortlisted for ‘Deal of the Year’ at Yorkshire Business Insider’s inaugural Placemaking Awards which will be held in June, and was also a finalist in the Northern BCO (British Council of Offices) Awards.
