Empty Buildings Cost Money

Do you have empty spaces? We can help.

A commercially-structured solution for vacant buildings, that delivers impact.

Reduce Costs.

Protect Assets.

Create Local Value

The Challenge

Empty buildings create ongoing costs and liabilities.

Business rates.
Utilities.
Maintenance.
Security.
Insurance.
Deterioration.

Many buildings remain vacant for years while owners wait for redevelopment, disposal or a conventional tenant.

During that period, the costs and risks continue.

The longer a building sits empty, the more expensive it becomes to hold and the harder it becomes to justify.

At the same time, local creative enterprises struggle to find affordable, professional workspace in which to grow.
