Willmott Dixon has been appointed to deliver a new £8m business centre and innovation hub for East Riding of Yorkshire Council that will offer flexible office and workshop space for SMEs
The Rail, accelerator and innovation solutions hub for Enterprise (RaisE), will provide 3,200 square metres of commercial floor space made up of grade-A office and workshop accommodation, conferencing facilities, and a welcoming communal café hub that will act as a focal point for the business park.
Procured using the YORbuild2 framework, phase one of RaisE is being delivered with East Riding Infrastructure & Facilities and is set for completion in early 2022.
The project has secured £1.5m from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and £1m from the Getting Building Fund, via the Hull and East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership (HEY LEP), to help finance the project.
Phase two is also on the same site and will see a £50m centre of excellence for rail and research and innovation developed between Siemens Mobility and the University of Birmingham.
