Work on the latest £10.7m phase of Parkside Office Village at the University of Essex will start early in 2022 after the appointment of R G Carter as the main contractor.
The new four-storey landmark building will open in 2023 and will have a total floor area of 3,764 sq m of high-quality office space.
It is designed to be as flexible as possible so it can accommodate a large anchor tenant or be sub-divided into smaller units depending on demand.

Insurance and financial services company, Canada Life, has agreed to forward fund Turnstone Estates £65 million leisure development in Colchester’s Northern Gateway. As part of the deal Colchester Borough Council has taken an over-riding lease on the scheme with a full buy-back of the Leisure Park at the end of the term for £1. This will allow the council to manage future leisure provision within the town with outright ownership after 35 years.
