Planning approval obtained for further offices at St James Place

Planning permission has been obtained for the next two phases of development in the new business quarter of the city which is under development by Jarrold Properties.

The first building, known as 3 St James Court, will become the new Norwich office for Barclays Commercial Banking. This will be situated on Whitefriars between the existing Mills & Reeve offices and Norwich Puppet Theatre. Barclays have also announced the opening of a new retail branch in the building. Two further floors will be available to let, each of approximately 10,000 sq. ft. Completion of the development is expected in late 2009.

The second phase will be two new office buildings adjoining the building currently under construction for DEFRA and the river Wensum with views across to the Cathedral. These buildings, which could be available in early 2010, will comprise approx. 30,000 sq ft. and 40,000 sq. ft. on 3 and 4 floors respectively.

All office buildings at St James Place will benefit from parking and will be situated in high quality landscaping. A new footbridge will connect the site to the Riverside walk, providing attractive and convenient pedestrian access to the station and city centre.
