Henry Brothers took CIOB Nottingham Hub members on a tour of Pilot House in Leicester – giving them a unique glimpse into the challenges and intricacies of working in Leicester’s historic conservation area.

The £13.3m project will transform former factory buildings into a contemporary space that will contribute to the city’s cultural and economic vitality.

The redevelopment includes the creation of modern workspaces and a central business community hub, comprising cafe, exhibition and event space, as well as a reception area and space for outdoor working.

The scheme has been designed to create a permanent base for the city’s creative and design businesses of varying sizes. It is supported by £8.6m from the previous government’s Levelling Up Fund, with the city council contributing £4.7m.

Completion is due in summer 2025.
