City Hall is a municipal building in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England.
[3] The council estimated that it would cost £5 million to refurbish the old civic centre and therefore decided to procure a new structure instead.
[6][7] The development was financed by Legal & General as part of a larger programme of investment in the city totalling £100 million.
[11] The contractual arrangements envisaged some areas being made available to accommodate the housing provider, Gentoo, and the Department for Work and Pensions as well as Sunderland City Council.
[13] However, the topping out of the building was completed by civic leaders in August 2020,[14] and it opened to the public on 29 November 2021.
