Insurance firm RSA on the move
A HALIFAX company is set to move 600 employees from Dean Clough into the new office complex being created at Northgate House.
RSA, the multinational insurance group, has signed a 20 year lease on office space in the former Council offices.
The company will lease all of the available office space, around 47,000 ft², within the newly refurbished building.
The insurer, which is currently based in Dean Clough, is planning to complete its relocation to Northgate House by Spring 2021 when over 600 employees will be based on site.
Karl Helgesen, Chief Claims
Officer at RSA said: “We are delighted to announce that we have agreed to become the sole office tenants at Northgate House in Halifax.
“Northgate House is a modern state of the art development which will provide huge benefits to all of our colleagues in
Halifax, as well as allowing us to provide an even better service to our customers. We have had a presence in Halifax for a significant amount time and this move highlights our ongoing commitment to the area.”
Calderdale Council is currently renovating the former Council offices to provide high quality office space with new retail units on the ground floor, as part of the wider transformation of Halifax.
The state-of-the-art offices and shops are expected to be completed in early 2021. BNP Paribas managed the letting process on behalf of the Council whilst Spring4 acted for RSA.
The new offices are adjacent to the new sixth form centre being built in the former library.
