Empty Buildings Cost Money

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.
