Known as Boho X, the project designed by JM Architects with help from Arup as both structural and MEP consultant is due for a completion date in December 2022.
Dongwen Yu, Lead Director of BCEGI said: “We are delighted to be working alongside Middlesbrough Council to deliver this iconic digital hub.

“Boho X will deliver a best-in-class destination that meets the aspirations of existing and new occupiers and reinforces Boho as a fantastic location for digitally focused businesses.”
The project is being part-funded by £26.5 million from the Tees Valley Mayor and Combined Authority.
