The team behind a major office development which is expected to bring hundreds of jobs to a city centre, gathered on site to celebrate the building reaching its highest point.

One City Park in Bradford is on track to complete in summer 2023.

One City Park the first new office space to be built in the city centre for 20 years.

Simon Dew, development director at Muse, said: “The construction programme is being delivered at pace and to be on schedule is testament to the hard work everyone involved.

"At Muse, we create kinder and inclusive places in partnership that build brighter futures for everyone and our purpose remains the same here at One City Park.

“Bradford is a diverse city full of potential and we want to attract the right businesses to One City Park and create a wealth of opportunities for the rich talent within the community."

Agents Knight Frank and Colliers launched One City Park to the market earlier this year. Once complete, the building will feature five floors of offices and a roof terrace, designed to suit a range of businesses from starts-up and SMEs to larger organisations and multi-nationals.

It is understood there has been a high volume of enquiries from potential occupiers.

Coun Alex Ross-Shaw, Bradford Council’s executive member of regeneration, planning and transport, said: “One City Park is bringing hundreds of jobs to the city centre throughout its construction and once complete will bring hundreds more. It will be a great complement to the Darley Street Market which is also currently under construction.”

One City Park will also feature a range of green design elements including high-performance glazing, photovoltaic panels and air source heat pumps to make sure the building operates on renewable energy.
