PROPERTY developer, Jomast, has begun a multimillion pound regeneration programme to renovate and refurbish some of Middlesbrough’s most impressive buildings.

The company is setting out to transform Exchange Place and include the comprehensive refurbishment and restoration of Zetland Buildings and Zetland Place. This will provide 35,000 sq ft of high quality Grade A office accommodation including a new business centre in the heart of the town centre.

The impressive Wilson’s Courtyard on Albert Road is also undergoing a major programme that will include a new 4,000 sq ft ground floor premises suitable for A1, A2 and A3 use.

Mark Hill of Jomast explained: “Albert Road and Exchange Place, have the potential to be two of the most important commercial centres for service based industries in the area and by developing these sites now, we hope to attract a variety of new businesses. Once complete, this development will provide some of the best office and business space in the town.”
