Following eighteen months of building work, the first businesses have moved into the newly constructed office buildings at Jarrold’s St James Place development in Norwich. This is an important mixed use regeneration of a major city centre site which is developing to become the new professional quarter for the city.

The latest two buildings to be completed are Dragonfly House, the new headquarters for The Broads Authority and regional headquarters for Natural England, and Kingfisher House where Birketts LLP and Grant Thornton have their Norwich offices.

Both of these striking high-quality buildings were designed by Aukett Fitzroy Robinson and constructed by R G Carter as prime contractors. Plans were developed in close consultation with the tenants to meet their specific requirements. Both buildings have been constructed to high BREEAM (British Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) ratings with Dragonfly House achieving BREEAM excellent standard.

The buildings are situated in sensitively landscaped grounds alongside the River Wensum and offices have outstanding views across to the Great Hospital and Cathedral whilst offering easy access to the Law Courts, railway station and Norwich city centre.

Plans are also being developed for an arts programme to run across the site, on which Jarrold is working with lead artist Cath Cambell with support from Arts & Business, and a new pedestrian bridge across the river.

Detailed planning permission has been given for the next phase of office development on the site which will comprise 100,000 sq ft of prestigious modern offices across three buildings. The development will be complemented by a new four star 180 bed hotel.

4,900 sq ft of open plan office space remains available for occupation in Kingfisher House.
