Acero is one of the highest specification offices in the region, offering 80,599 ft² flexible office accommodation over six floors. The office building is the latest addition to the Sheffield DC development and has been privately funded in a 50:50 joint venture between SIPL and Metro.

Paul Holcroft of Scarborough International Properties, said: “We are delighted to welcome this new Spaces concept to Acero. We believe the building provides the kind of collaborative, creative and flexible workspace options that ‘Spaces’ offers. Spaces will offer local businesses seeking smaller workspaces or more flexible terms the opportunity to be part of Acero’s growing business community.With interest continuing to build in the last few remaining suites, we look forward to announcing further deals soon.”
Richard Morris, UK CEO of Spaces, said: “Demand for flexible office space is growing rapidly – our research shows that 53% of professionals globally now work remotely for at least half their working week and 30% of corporate real estate portfolios could be flexible workspace by 2030. People are recognising that they are far more productive and successful in a dynamic working environment, where they are surrounded by like-minded people. Spaces is helping to supply this demand and drive a workspace revolution in Britain.”
