One City Park | Bradford

One City Park

Once the grounds of a police station, One City Park’s £35 million 5-storey construction is close to completion. The development has offered a “wealth of opportunities” through the 398 construction jobs and over 400 new permanent jobs once built.

One City Park offers 56,403 sq ft of Grade A office space across 5 floors and a roof terrace. It is designed to home many businesses, from start-up companies to existing business giants, as well as being a retail and leisure base. One potential client has enquired about acquiring “at least half” of the office space.

The developer, Muse, partnered with Bradford City Council to create this “striking steel and glass structure”. High-specification interiors and a double-height atrium adorn the development. This urban regeneration in the city centre raises Bradford’s profile as a destination for businesses migrating North.

Sustainability at its Core

Bradford’s One City Park is designed to go ‘beyond simply being green’. The urban construction’s main aim surrounds sustainable city living. From the solar-panelled roof and air source heat pumps to low-flow water consumption and high-performance glazing, the Grade A building will be energy efficient and operate on renewable energy. With low-carbon heating, natural lighting, and even promoting biodiversity through planting and nest boxes on the terrace, One City Park has been awarded a BREEAM Excellent rating.

Working alongside Capital of Cycling, a Bradford-based charity, One City Park encourages low-carbon travel. This spans from the EV charging points to cycling parking and storage, including ‘end-of-trip facilities’ like showers and lockers. Urban regeneration increases an area’s desirability, strengthening its economy. Alongside Bradford’s Clean Air Zones, the city’s projects to the public realm are to improve the quality of life of residents. Constructions like One City Park magnify a city’s investments in the future – a key factor for property investors.
