Regent Centre

Regent Centre is a large business park and residential complex in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

The business park is home to a variety of companies, including banking group Virgin Money whose Head Office is located on the site.

North British Properties started to build Regent Centre in 1970 and finished in 1981; at completion it was the largest office complex in Europe, covering a total area of 11 acres (4.5 ha).

[2] The previous owner was Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate who purchased it along with the rest of the Fordgate Group's Jupiter Portfolio in June 2014.

Former tenants of the Regent Centre are HM Revenue & Customs as well as the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency, Health & Safety Executive and the Labour Party.

Planning applications were granted to expand and modernise a large section of the Regent Centre site, which is adjacent to the Metro line.

The architects were Howarth Litchfield Partnership, the consulting engineers were Cundall, and Home Stretch Properties Ltd. were also involved in the project.

[13] In November 2013, Regent Point was purchased by the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Trust, represented by GVA, for an undisclosed sum.

In early 2006 this building was demolished[16] and its replacement, known as Partnership House, which is 10 storeys high and cost £35 million, was completed in November 2008.

In 2015 the owners of the north side of Regent Centre were exploring possibilities for the business park's future, including potentially turning the buildings into 400 residential dwellings, work that was under way in 2018.
