Bringing New Life to an Established Building
Situated at 37 New Walk, Provincial House occupies a distinctive position within Leicester's historic professional quarter. New Walk itself dates back to 1785 and remains one of the city's most recognisable pedestrian routes, known for its tree-lined setting and historic architecture. Whilst the building retains much of its traditional character, the working environments inside need to continue evolving.
The recent third-floor refurbishment has focused on creating a more contemporary, welcoming and practical environment for businesses, making better use of the existing accommodation without losing the character that makes Provincial House an attractive place to work.
Creating a Better Working Environment
A successful office refurbishment is about more than simply refreshing individual rooms. The spaces connecting them are equally important in shaping how occupiers and visitors experience a building.
On the third floor, the refurbished accommodation incorporates a communal seating area and meeting-room facilities alongside the private offices. The shared seating area provides somewhere to step away from the desk, hold an informal conversation or accommodate visitors, while the meeting room offers a dedicated environment for more structured discussions.
Together, these facilities help create a professional working environment that extends beyond the individual office suites. For smaller businesses in particular, access to shared facilities can make a meaningful difference, providing additional flexibility without requiring them to occupy more space than they actually need.
Refreshed Private Offices for Modern Businesses
The refurbishment also brings renewed attention to the private office accommodation across the third floor.
One example is Office 308, a circa 250 sq ft suite that demonstrates the potential of a well-presented, furnished workspace within an established city-centre building. With space suitable for a small team, the office offers a practical environment for businesses seeking a dedicated workspace without committing to a large conventional office. The wider third-floor offering provides a selection of office sizes and configurations, making it suitable for independent professionals, growing companies and established businesses looking for a Leicester base. With lift access, meeting facilities and serviced-office arrangements, Provincial House combines the practicalities of modern business accommodation with the surroundings of a traditional commercial property.
Making Existing Commercial Space Work Better
The transformation at Provincial House reflects an important principle in commercial property management: existing buildings can continue to meet changing occupier expectations when their spaces are thoughtfully maintained and improved.
Modern businesses increasingly consider the overall working environment, not simply the size of an office or the number of desks it can accommodate. Shared facilities, presentation, accessibility and flexibility all contribute to whether a workspace feels right for a business.
At Provincial House, the improvements to the third-floor accommodation are part of that wider approach - ensuring the building continues to offer relevant, practical workspace while making the most of its established Leicester City Centre location.
