Maintained to the meticulous standards on which Dysart prides itself, the park is home to a number of blue chip tenants including the AA and British Airways, offering a range of units from compact riverside office suits to floor plates in excess of 5,000 sq ft.

History

Newcastle Business Park and Armstrong Business Park were the result of a 1980s drive by the Tyne & Wear Development Corporation to create jobs and sustainable regeneration in the west end of Newcastle upon Tyne.

Both developments were located on part of the former Vickers Armstrong Elswick Works, which was once the largest armaments plant in the world, producing everything from battleships to howitzers, railway locomotives and steam turbines.

Following the gradual decline of heavy industry on the site, it had become an industrial wasteland, so it was the natural choice for development when the area received Development Zone status from central government.

The buildings on Newcastle Business Park in particular were the first of their type in the North East, incorporating large, flexible floor plates within low-rise structures, surrounded by landscaped grounds and associated car parking. In addition, all of the buildings were constructed with future technological developments in mind, allowing for the installation of computer networks and other innovations.

Today, the parks are home to a series of major business, including British Airways and the AA, together with smaller clerical and industrial tenants, together employing more than 5,000 people.
